Speaking of greatness, for my money Tom Seaver is one of the top 2 righthanded pitchers of all time. Take your pick between Seaver and Greg Maddux. Sorry Roger Clemens-steroid cheats need not apply.

Monday night, Seaver spoke with our Sal Marchiano about his favorite memories of Shea Stadium.

My Favorite Shea Memory.... FATHER'S DAY 1969 my first time at Shea -
My baby brother & I became a Met fans prior to 1969 because my dad & older brother followed the Mets. My dad affectionatley referred to them as "the clowns." (Mind you, Dad was still hurting from the loss of the NY Giants and Willie Mays.) In March of '69, with my older brother in the service, my dad passed away suddenly. My brother was sent home to help care for us. He took us to our first game at Shea for Father's Day. It was very special, I was thrilled yet sad to spend my 1st Father's Day without my dad. Well, when the Mets went on to win the World Series that year, we felt they did it just for us. To this day I amaze people by naming the entire '69 team. They will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason. I hold many memories over these 40 years. Losing Shea will feel like losing my family home, but life goes on - Lets Go Mets 2008
