The Greatest Athlete To Ever Wear #41 is Tom Seaver-one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history.

Notable #41’s- Eddie Matthews is one of the most underrated players of his era. He was a 9 time All-Star, hit over 500 home runs and is one of the 5ive greatest third baseman of all times. Must be something with the number because I always thought Darrell Evans was one of the most underrated players of the 1970’s and 80’s. He wasn’t a high average hitter but he sure hit home runs and drove runs in. Two guys with the last name Evans-the most underrated players of the 1970’s- Darrell and Dewey. Jeff Reardon was one of the top closers in the 1980’s. In football Charlie Waters was a 3 time Pro Bowl safety for the Cowboys and played in 5 Super Bowls. In basketball- Wes Unseld was an undersized center for Washington but he was one of the great rebounders in league history and one of the strongest players to ever play the game.

The Greatest Athlete To Ever Wear #41 is an easy call- Tom Seaver won 311 games and struck out over 36oo hitters while posing a career ERA of 2:86 which is one of the best in the modern era. Seaver will always be remembered as a Met. He led the Mets on their incredible 1969 Miracle Mets World Championship. He won 3 Cy Youngs. He has to be on the short list of the greatest pitchers I’ve seen in nearly 50 years of watching baseball and on the shortlist of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. His nickname said it all “Tom Terrific.”
