An Old Friend's Bad Nightmare

Was watching the MLB Network earlier today, and for some reason, Bob Costas was reminding everybody in a taped piece that Tom Seaver was traded back in June of 1977 from the Mets to the Reds when he was still just 30 years old. I hope that my friend Mike up in NYC wasn't watching, because he's a huge Mets fans who still has nightmares because of that trade, and I also hope that, if he was watching, he didn't destroy his TV.

For the interested, after the trade, Seaver's career stats were only 122-99 with a 3.39 ERA.
