NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — New York Mets and Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver has been diagnosed with dementia, his family announced in a statement Thursday.

“We’ve been in contact with the Seaver family and are aware of his health situation,” the Mets said in a statement. “Although he’s unable to attend the ’69 Anniversary, we are planning to honor him in special ways and have included his family in our plans. Our thought are with Tom, Nancy and the entire Seaver family.” source
