Mets Players Honor The Franchise All Season Long
Date: 2021
The Mets honored the late Tom Seaver during the entire 2021 season by donning a commemorative “41” patch on the right sleeve of both home and away uniforms. Seaver, who passed away on August 31, 2020, is considered by Mets players, coaches and fans as the greatest player in team history. “Tom represented our childhood,” said Mets broadcaster Gary Cohen following Seaver’s death. “He was a light that we could all look to. He was the one person who changed the entire notion of what it was to be a New York Mets fan.”
