I was also sure that he was still manager when Seaver was traded. (In retrospect, trading Kingman was not really as terrible as trading Tom Terrific. It’s not like everyone else didn’t trade Kong too.) It was a strange, sad time to discover Mets baseball, one that only led me to a childhood dalliance with the Yankees in their heyday, Frazier and M. Donald Grant were among my first scapegoats, and I suspect that neither really deserved the blame I gave them.
