It seems like Matt Harvey is out to make sure nobody compares the 2015 Mets with the 1969 edition of the team.
That’s too bad, because there’s every reason to believe that Harvey could play the role of Tom Seaver to the hilt if he really wanted to.
Seaver was the leader of the Amazins’ remarkable pitching staff that also included Jerry Koosman, Gary Gentry and a perky, young fireballer named Nolan Ryan. That team would come together like few others ever have to beat a sensational Baltimore Orioles team in a five-game World Series, and Seaver was the best of the best.
