The toughest hitter
That Tom Seaver ever faced
Ended Tom's comeback
 |
| 1988 Donruss #619 Barry Lyons |
During his retirement press conference, Seaver was asked who was the toughest hitter he had ever faced. He named Lyons, who a few weeks earlier went 6-6 against him in a simulated game. That game led to Seaver deciding to end his comeback attempt.
At least he didn't break Seaver's leg like he broke John Tudors.

ReplyDeleteAnother interesting piece of baseball trivia!
Even without Lyons, not coming back was probably the best for Tom.
