Tom Seaver Tribute Video-Tom Seaver Pitching An Inning From 9 Different Games!

As a special tribute to Tom Seaver here is a rare treat! Here is Tom Terrific pitching an inning from 9 different games spanning almost his entire career (1969-1986). Here we will see Seaver pitching for the Mets, Reds, White Sox, and Red Sox and facing many of the best hitters of the era. Better yet, 6 of the innings should be entirely new to KZbin!
The chapters run in order so the 1st inning will be the first inning from one game, the 2nd inning will be the second inning from another game, etc., simulating an actual Seaver complete game! For those that would rather watch the video in chronological order of Seaver's career the chapter points are listed below. As always please Like and Subscribe to help out the channel.

What a genuine pleasure it was to see this Tom Seaver compilation from so many games in his career. Thank you for putting this together. If this were indeed a "complete game," here's his pitching line: 9 innings pitched, no runs, 3 hits, no walks, 12 strikeouts. 123 pitches thrown, 87 for strikes. Seaver faced 6 Hall-of-Famers (Wade Boggs, Catfish Hunter, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, Brooks Robinson and Jim Rice) and they were 0 for 8 combined against him. Pretty good stats.

What great dedication to detail! You get the RetroMaven Gold Star ⭐⭐

Seaver was the best.

[@markravitz1684]

The Reds/ Expos game was Seaver's 1st start with the Reds after his trade from New York. It was also the day of the Martin-Jackson scuffle in Boston

[@markravitz1684]

Word Series and Championship Series Day games that didn't last 3 and a half- 4 hours! All teams finished in 1st place to qualify! How nice! The good old days

[@cdelano81]

For the last "inning", it was actually JUNE 18th, 1977. It was Seaver's first game in a Reds' uniform as he faced the Expos. Not many know about this game, though, because that same day in Boston (which NBC also carried, thank you), Billy and Reggie nearly exchanged punches in the Yankee dugout after Reggie was pulled for not running out a Jim Rice fly ball in the 5th inning.

He was on the front of sports illustrated the next week

Thanks for that interesting trivia.

After watching and listening to Marv Albert on Basketball, Football and Hockey, it’s pretty cool to hear him call a baseball game. He did Baseball studio work on radio and TV for the Mets, Yankees (1960s) and NBC (1980s). He also worked for the Brooklyn Dodgers in grade school (there is a picture of young Marv and Gil Hodges if you search for it). Marv did baseball play by play for 5-6 games in the 1970s on NBC. He also called AAA Syracuse Chiefs games in 1962. Thanks!

👍👍

[@lancer3412]

Boy, I didn't remember Marv doing baseball play by play. I remember him hosting pre and postgame shows. Especially for NBC. Of course, if he was only doing the backup game I wouldn't see it unless the Yankees or Mets were the main game. Another good one, Retro. I most enjoyed seeing the 2 Reds games from 1977.

[@retromaven2159]

@@lancer3412 Yes, I do believe this was the backup GOW that day. Thanks!

[@lancer3412]

@@retromaven2159 Do you remember what the main game was? Martin taking Reggie out in Boston. I remember NBC did it. I didn't see it there, I saw it on WPIX. It also means that the Seaver game was on in New York. I have zero recall of watching it or Marv doing it, but I imagine I checked in on it because it was his first game as a Red.

[@retromaven2159]

@@lancer3412 Ah, the Yankees being humiliated on national TV. Sure takes me back!!

[@ForeverExpos]

Thanks for posting this! Especially good to see the EXPOS partial in the 9th Inning!!

[@retromaven2159]

Les Expos, gone but not forgotten!!

[@stephenkraljic5619]

Thanks so much for posting this. I was at the Aug 1977 Mets/Reds game and I've never seen any surviving WOR broadcast footage from it. Also, the clip of the Reds/Expos game is an incredible find. It sounds like Marv Albert is doing PBP and not sure who the color man is (Art Shamsky?). Was this an NBC game of the week broadcast?

[@retromaven2159]

Yes, good catch! I listed the broadcasters in the Description! :) Thanks!

[@donwert70]

This is great stuff. Unfortunately, both 1973 games turned out to be losses for the Mets as the A's and Reds would later tie the games off Seaver and win them later on. Neverthesless, Tom was Terrific!

[@retromaven2159]

Thanks for tuning in!!

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

he should have been called tom "totally" terrific. thanks.

[@retromaven2159]

I like it!😀

Thanks for viewing my Tom Seaver tribute video. Make sure to check out my clip of Seaver's 19K game at Shea Stadium in 1970: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWjEdZijlK6sp68&ab_channel=RetroMaven

[@remme6]

Do you happen to have the complete broadcast of the Sox/Mariners game with Seaver from TV38 in Boston? If so, could you please post it? I thank you.

[@oshea41]

Do you have entire games??

[@retromaven2159]

😁

[@matthewjansen3297]

Reds were so much better but Mets pitching superlative
