Tom Seaver’s Baseball Career and Personal Life

Tom Seaver was a retired Major League Baseball player who had a net worth of $10 million. He was best known for his time with the New York Mets, helping them turn from lovable losers into formidable foes, winning the World Series in 1969 on a team that would be later called the “Miracle Mets”.

Seaver played a total of 13 seasons in the MLB, playing for the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox. In his two decade-long career, Tom Seaver won the National League Rookie of the Year Award in 1967 and three NL Cy Young Awards as the league’s best pitcher.

When he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992, he received the highest percentage ever recorded (98.84%) up to that point. He has the only plaque at Cooperstown wearing a New York Mets hat. Being the Mets’ all-time leader in wins, Seaver, along with Gil Hodges, is the only Met player to have their jersey numbers retired by the team.

Tom married Nancy Lynn McIntyre in 1966. They had two daughters together and lived on a 115-acre vineyard in Calistoga, California which they called Seaver Family Vineyards. Unfortunately, Tom began suffering from memory loss in 2013 that was later diagnosed as dementia. He largely retired from public life from that point on. He died on August 31, 2020 at the age of 75.
