Tom Seaver had just completed what might be his greatest season. The 12-time All Star finished 20-10 with a sterling 1.76 earned run average. Seaver led the league in ERA, strikeouts and WHIP. One has to wonder if today’s more sophisticated Cy Young voters would have recognized his greatness over actual winner Fergie Jenkins whose ERA was a full run higher. In the letter, Seaver writes about his admiration of his college coach, Rod Dedeaux.
