HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 1970'S: TOM SEAVER MATCHES KOUFAX WITH THIRD CY YOUNG AWARD

By the time “Tom Terrific” wrapped up his 1975 season, it was a given that he earned himself his third Cy Youn Award, matching Sandy Koufax as the only players to do so.
So today I give you a “Highlight” card celebrating the feat:

Seaver was in his prime in 1975, posting a 22-9 record with a 2.38 earned run average and 248 strikeouts. The win and K totals led the league, also contributing to his eighth all-star nod.
It was also the eighth year in a row that he posted 200 or more strikeouts, as well as fourth 20-win season and eighth sub-3.00 ERA, all setting him on a path straight to the Hall of Fame after his playing days were over.
And when those days were over, all Seaver had to show for it was a brilliant 2.86 ERA, 311 wins, 61 shutouts and 3640 strikeouts over 656 games, all but nine of them starts, and (at the time) the highest percentage of votes for the Hall.
The guy was incredible, and arguably missed out on being the first FOUR-time Cy Young winner when he got ripped off in 1981, with the award going to Dodger sensation Fernando Valenzuela.
Just an amazing talent...
