The New York Mets made sure that nobody will forget "The Franchise," unveiling a long-awaited statue of legendary pitcher Tom Seaver by the entrance to Citi Field.
The statue, featuring Seaver's iconic drop-and-drive delivery, stands to the right of the Home Run Apple, measures 10 feet high, 13.5 feet long and is made of 2,000 pounds of bronze and 1,200 pounds of stainless steel, standing on a granite mound.
The statue came in nine separate pieces, weighs 33,600 pounds and was sculpted by William Behrends.
Seaver was diagnosed with dementia in 2019 and died in 2020 at age 75. Nancy Seaver, who married the Hall of Famer in 1966, introduced the statue alongside daughters Sarah and Annie.
"Hello, Tom, it's so nice to have you where you belong," she said in front of a cheering crowd.
