Something Silly This Way Comes (And Probably Goes Very Quickly)

May 8, 2018 will most likely not be a date that lives on in the minds of Mets fans forever. Or Reds fans for that matter.

Because, at 33, Seaver was called a "headache" by M. Donald Grant. Seaver thought he deserved more than his $225,000 salary (ya think?).
