George Thomas "Tom" Seaver, nicknamed "Tom Terrific" and "The
Franchise", is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He pitched from
1967-1986 for four different teams in his career, but is noted primarily
for his time with the New York Mets. During a 20-year career, Seaver
compiled 311 wins, 3,640 strikeouts, 61 shutouts and a 2.86 earned run
average. In 1992, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of
Fame.
Aparicio won the 1956 AL Rookie of the Year Award. He helped lead the
"Go-Go" White Sox to the 1959 American League Pennant championship (he
led the AL in stolen bases and putouts, assists, and fielding as
shortstop), and was the AL MVP runner-up. He was an AL All-Star for ten
seasons, an AL stolen base leader for 9 consecutive seasons, and an AL
Gold Glove winner for 9 seasons.
Baseball legend Ted Williams called Aparicio "the best shortstop he had
ever seen". Aparicio was the first Venezuelan inducted into the National
Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984.
