The Cy Young award is among the most prestigious awards available to any pitcher in baseball. The award is named after Cy Young, one of the greatest pitchers in the history of Major League Baseball.

Because the award is so prestigious, the names of the pitchers that have won the Cy Young award over the course of their careers are revered and held as legends. One of the great pitchers of all-time was Tom Seaver. While the award is given to only one pitcher in the National League and one pitcher in the American League each year, Seaver was such a stellar pitcher that he managed to bring the award home multiple times over the course of his career. Seaver played for 5 different teams over the course of his career, but each of his Cy Young awards came to him while he was pitching for the Mets.

The Mets have simply never been able to bring a tremendous amount of talent to their team. Because of this Seaver is remembered as one of the greatest Mets of all time. He won his Cy Young awards in 1969, 1973 and 1975.

Tom Seaver was born in 1944 in Fresno, California. Seaver was always a great athlete, ...
... even when he was young. While Seaver had a great arm and is remembered as a baseball player, he had a potential career in basketball as well. Seaver was named one of the best players in his city. Despite his great basketball talent he was determined to play baseball in his college years.

Seaver ended up on the Mets by way of a big accident. The Dodgers first drafted Seaver in 1965 after displaying some great pitching for USC. The Dodgers were unwilling to give Seaver the money that he wanted and he was not signed by Los Angeles.

The Braves took the next stab at Seaver. He was drafted in the 1st round of the secondary draft and signed a contract with Atlanta. The Braves’ contract was voided because his college team played two exhibition games. The NCAA proceeded to make him ineligible and it looked like he was going to be out of luck for that season. After this string of events Seaver’s father appealed to Major League Baseball in hopes of getting him another opportunity to play in the big leagues. There were three teams that bid for Seaver including the Indians, Phillies and Mets. The Mets wont the lottery drawing and drew the ace that would carry their pitching staff for years.

Seaver was good from the beginning and was the Rookie of the Year in his first season. He won 16 games despite the fact that the Mets were very bad and was named to the all-star team.

Seaver managed to win a championship with the Mets and was a dominant player over the course of his career. He was named to the all-star team 12 different times and won 3 Cy Young awards. He was voted into the Hall of Fame on 99 percent of the ballots on his first ballot.
