Are you sure thats Tom Seaver? It looks like he's getting bombed. Andy Messersmith was also on that pitching staff? Wow! Steve Barber wasn't too shabby either.
@thedomster999 I was wondering about that. I'm wondering if it's the same Steve Barber who pitched for the Orioles and other teams, because I believe he was already in the major leagues by then. I also noticed some other major league players that I remember: Eddie Leon, Andy Messersmith, Craig Nettles, Dan Frisella (later to be one of my favorite Mets), Al Schmelz, Mike Paul--- and, of course, Tom Seaver. By the way, even though we didn't see much of Seaver pitching, I think that I recognized
Hard to tell. But you can see that at around 2:12, the man pitching is a lefty. We know this because he is pitching from the stretch and his back is facing third..... Making him a lefty.
Just read the story that is linked from the description. That is how I figured out which game it was. The final score was what nailed it first, and then I could tell by reading it how everything else fell into place. Too bad the cameraman never heard of zoom.. but even having this footage is a minor miracle. Thanks!
To play Devil's advocate here, and with absolutely no disrespect intended, how do I know what I'm seeing? Take away the headline with Tom Seaver's name and remove the graphic, how would I ever know I'm looking at a very young Tom Seaver pitching for the Alaska Goldpanners?
