The Mets have officially weighed in on the Tom Terrific debate. Unsurprisingly, they’re on Seaver’s side, tweeting at the US Patent and Trademark Office to get their side of the story out.
“Hey @uspto, with all due respect to @TomBrady … There’s only one #TomTerrific to us. #LGM #Mets,” the team tweeted, accompanied with a photo of Seaver.
Brady applied for a trademark to the nickname he and Seaver share last week, setting off controversy. Though Brady is arguably the best quarterback of all-time, Seaver is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and a Baseball Hall of Famer.
