Episode Synopsis "The Franchise"

When the New York Mets unveiled the statue of Tom Seaver at Citi Field Friday before their home opener, it reminded me of this piece I wrote after Seaver died on August 31, 2020.  It's about Seaver, but mostly about the ties that bind through sports and my father. I hope you enjoy "The Franchise," the latest episode of the personal narrative podcast "Stories from the First 60 Years."
