Cake or Gum? 1977 Tom Seaver

Last time it was an easy victory for Topps, 10-1. Will this be closer?

Hostess has a simple spring training shot, while Topps has an action photo at Shea Stadium. One of the greatest pitchers of all time, Seaver won at least 20 five times. He led the league in ERA three times, and his 2.86 career ERA is third lowest since 1920. He was a twelve-time All Star and won three Cy Young Awards. His nine consecutive 200-strikeout seasons (1968-1976) are the major league record. In 656 games he went 311-205 with 3,640 strikeouts. After his career Seaver had a long career as an announcer, including several years for the Yankees, as all great Mets must become a Yankee at some point. He died from complications from dementia and COVID-19 in 2020.
