Safe to say Oh would have translated if he went to the MLB in his prime lol
Seaver started 641 games, 231 of those were complete games, 61 shutouts
Keep in mind that most batters didn’t strikeout as much in those days. It was considered embarrassing to strikeout, so with two strikes they tried to make contact and not go for power.
That fastball to Frank Robinson is crazy—no drop at all. I’m certain Seaver would be dominant today
So much high cheese.

I’m guessing the Mantle clip is from the now defunct Mayor’s Trophy game, but I can’t figure out where he would have faced Yastrzemski other than spring training.
Greatest pitcher I ever saw. Perfect marriage of talent, intelligence, and desire.
When I was young I charted every Seaver start. Still my all time fave. #41. The Franchise
