On the final episode of 2020, Caught Listening continues it's "In Memoriam" series by remembering a larger than life figure that put an entire franchise on the map early in his career. Tom "The Franchise" Seaver is the New York Mets to a lot of fans and members of the organization and his legacy on the field is one that extends decades after his final pitch.

Honoring "Tom Terrific" by discussing his impact on baseball and the Metropolitans is Neil Best, sports columnist for Newsday. He recounts watching Tom as a child and talks about how much he really helped legitimize a young franchise in a market dominated by the Yankees. Maybe most impressive about Seaver's legacy is how impactful he has been more than 30 years after retiring. Best explains why that is the case and just how important the California kid was to so many fans in New York.
