European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 30, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 13 the stars and stripes thursday june 30, 1977 new York the television network camera Crews that followed James Earl Ray through the Hills of Tennessee for 18 hours Aday were Back the next Day filming Tom Seaver around a Motel swimming  Story. Now that we know where Ray will spend the remainder of his life or so. Pecan concentrate on the matter of where Seaver spends his Summers for the next five years. Tom Seaver was a Pitcher for the Newyork mils baseball team which came close to being the most unimportant occupation inthe City of new York the most unimportant was to write about Seaver for a living. Seav or s problem was simple he was an ambitious person on a baseball team that was no account. Seaver is a right handed Pitcher who maybe on his Way to striking out More batters than anybody in the sport s history. He has won 189 games and he says that he dreams of winning 300 games which is a very important number in the sports world. Seaver knew however that he never could do this with the new York mets. The mets Are a last place team and could be for Ever. The mets can have the bases loaded wit nobody out in the last inning and their two most important hitters coming up and the first will hit the Ball directly to the first baseman who stops on the base and throws Home for a double play and he won t even try to kill himself. The next Batter seems quit secure. Rather than swing at a pitch he does t like he takes a third  the season. Seaver had been complaining about the team complaining out of selfish interest which is the Only reason most thing get done anyway. How was he going to earn millions any fool can take Home $200,000 a year if he was t out there trying to reach 300 victories he decided he wanted to be  Seaver was the most important of the mets. It was up to the management to keep him. You just Don t go around losing pitch ers of his Caliper particularly if you do Busi Ness in the City of new York. Predictably Seaver came around looking for More Money. Pay me More or Trade me to a Good team he told the management. The Matte could have been handled without much conversation make the Man Happy and get Stover with you can t let him go. The people running the mils did not do this and. In examining their reactions to Seaver you again get a Fine glimpse of however sports is under the control of Park ave. In the Middle of a discussion about Seaver m. Donald Grant the chairman of the mets came in with what he regarded Ashe line that would close the topic forever. He wishes to renegotiate his contract Grant said. Grant was in his apartment at the Mayfair House on 65th St. And Park  s so bad about that he was  paused. You and i think differently he said."1 know writers who have Book contracts and when they turn in a Good chapter the want to renegotiate and get More Money Grant was  Long Are those contracts for he said."1 know a Man has a five year contract and he s overdue on the whole thing and he still wants to renegotiate for More Money. Why not it s one Man against a  have an honest difference of Opin Ion Grant  if the Guy is Good the company does t care that mini. You have to go along with the Good  we Don t have just one Man in this  have 25 men to consider Grant said. If we did it with one then they d All becoming in on Back of  he was giving you the Way of the business Man. The businessman in charge. You always hear them squealing about the morality of a contract when an individual with one life to live decides he is going to put therm on an organization for More Money. So when Seaver asked m. Donald Grant of Park ave. And Kobe sound fla., was Hurt. How could this Man go Back on his contract his word of Honor and want More Money Grant then sat Down and decided to trades aver. Of yes he owned Seaver. He could Trade Seaver to another owner and receive bodies in return. The thought of this Power causes the eyes to Glisten. This is almost Smuch fun trading baseball players you own As it is. To sit with a Breeding Chart in front of always the ways of the Rich in the sport world retain some of the better aspects of  was this kind of thinking therefore that had Tom Seaver the Only player on the met Worth paying to Sec on his Way to Cincinnati. The Man wanted More Money. Good heavens does t he understand the Sanctity of a contract so Grant As befits those who use initials instead of first names and bemoan the absence of a hyphenated last name got rid of Seaver in the tradition of All servants who assume command of the family inheritance and who feel threatened by a knowing Han asking where s mine Grant who comes to us out of the late Joan Payson s purse just As Moths came from Jack Benny s Wallet accepted any payment to rid himself of Seaver. For a sparkling physical posses Sion of this City he accepted three plow Bosand a Fry Cook. Grant stood up for sound corporate Busi Ness principles and As a result we will probably have one less diversion in the  the thought occurs that if new York has its sports in the hands of people who thin this Way. Then maybe the City ought to look How Green Bay took Over its football team and runs it As it should be As a municipal Enterprise.
