Tom Seaver died the other day. We cats are not from New York, and we didn't grow up as Mets fans, but we saw this photo when it was originally published. It helped us understand for the first time what baseball could mean to people.
And what New York could mean to Americans, too. We remember the Life magazine caption: "Nobody talks about the Yankees anymore."
Tom Seaver made this possible — and therefore, since he had such an influence on a major memory from our kittenhood, we feel sad that he's gone. We cats salute him, and we PURR.
