Lady Luck was with the Mets. In 1966, in a lottery to determine who would get a young USC pitcher named Tom Seaver, the Mets drew Seaver's name out of a hat. Tom Terrific went on season when he went 25-7. Seaver also hurled for the Reds, White Sox and Red Sox in a 20-year, Hall of Fame career that saw him compile 311 wins, a 2.86 ERA and three Cy Young awards. This Louisville Slugger bat has the labeling period from 1980-83 It is a 35", 33 oz. F3 pitchers model bat that shows good game use and is uncracked. There is slight deadwood on the rear side of the barrel and Seaver's number "41" is on the knob and end of barrel in black marker. There is an inscription on the barrel "To Davey Tom Seaver 11-17" on the barrel in black marker rating a 7. to win 25 percent of the team's games from 1966-73, including the ‘69 dream championship.
