He had a 4.06 regular season ERA and 4.08 in post season. He didn't perform up to the other guys' playoff standards, but he did match them in the fierce factor.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-6769088234607617062012-06-11T03:36:58.849-04:002012-06-11T03:36:58.849-04:00Definitely Gibson over Seaver.

Gibson, though? Really, really good, and definitely high up on the "pure competitive mean-ness" scale, but I'd take Tom Terrific over him any day of the week!WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-4230631829362569192012-06-02T01:59:01.086-04:002012-06-02T01:59:01.086-04:00Yah, it is a little surprising with all the arms t...Yah, it is a little surprising with all the arms the Mets have had, especially Tom Terrific. But I'm a little older (OK, prob a lot) than you, Will - I'd be torn between Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson for my game seven starter.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-59324366813785431742012-06-02T00:10:26.144-04:002012-06-02T00:10:26.144-04:00Nice to see Santana get the no-no.

Unbelievable that Tom Terrific never did the deed while he was a Met, but of course he has the all time record for most one-hitters, if I recall correctly. Dunno 'bout you, Ron, but if I had to pick one pitcher in his prime to win a game, and my life depended on that game, my choice would be Seaver. I think he's the best pitcher of my lifetime.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
