Tremendous compendium of stuff about Tom Terrific.

Every time I think of him, I wish he had pitched for a much better team than the grade B team assembled to play around him most years.

Could you imagine what he would have done if he arrived in 1984 as a rookie along with Dwight Gooden?

I always think of how good Whitey Ford had it with the Yanks, pitching for them and not against them. But he lost 2 full years to the military during the Korean conflict, so he had his obstacles too. But it would be interesting to see how Seaver would have fared if backed by a grade A offensive squad.

In games where his team scored 0 to 2 runs, he was 48-135 in 214 starts despite a .252 ERA in those games. That was fully 1/3 of his career starts.

By comparison, Ford only got 0-2 runs of support in 101 of his 438 starts, or 23% of his starts.
