Tom Seaver, the pitcher widely regarded as the New York Mets’ greatest player, died on Monday, according to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was 75.
Seaver had dropped out of public life in March last year after being diagnosed with dementia. He spent the remainder of his life at his home in California, reportedly dying peacefully in his sleep of complications of Lewy body dementia and COVID-19. The New York Daily News reported that Lyme disease also played a part in his death.
