Must admit, after seeing Wall Street play so many risky financial games over the decades and hope some companies go under, it's delicious when Redditors decide to play the game and make the rich squirm. XD

All the morons booing the players during the Moment of Unity proves they just wanna be racist without players and the media calling them out for it.

Went through some amazin' accomplishments from Tom Seaver.
- Only Hall-of-Fame pitcher to win Rookie of the Year (1967).
- 3-time NL Cy Young winner.
- Led the Mets to their first winning record, Division, and Championship in 1969.
- No-hitter in 1978 with Cincinnati, five one-hitters as a Met.
- 12-time All-Star.
- Won 311 games (his 300th in 1985 as a White Sock at Yankee Stadium on the day they retired Phil Rizzuto's #10: August 4, 1985), 198 of them as a Met.
- Finished his career not just more than 100 games over .500, but with a .603 winning percentage.
- Only player to strike out 10 batters in a row.
- At the time of accomplishment, only the fifth pitcher to strike out 3,000 batters. At the time of retirement, third all-time in strikeouts (3,640), Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton ahead of him.
- Career 109.9 Baseball-Ref Wins Above Replacement, his 106 bWAR 7th highest among pitchers.
- Career 2.86 ERA and 127 Adjusted ERA.
- First Met player and only one of four Mets altogether to have his number retired.
- Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1992 on the first ballot with 98.84% of the vote, the highest ever at the time, missing unanimous election by 5 votes.
I was way too young to have ever seen Tom Seaver pitch, but the Met fans who did watched and followed the literal icon of the team. He was there when he led the Mets out of the National League cellar for the first time in 1968, then out of mediocrity in the beginning of 1969, and then began the miracle of the Amazin' Mets for the rest of that year. He was more than just Tom Terrific. He was "The Franchise," and for good reason. No one defined Mets' baseball more than Seaver. Forever a legend. RIP, Tom. *tips cap*

Astro BOYD is the best appearance of Huey in the current run and one of his best of all time. Despite being so studious, technical, and by the book on so much (especially the Junior Woodchuck guide), he became close friends with BOYD. When Gyro Gearloose was pessimistic and ready to cut his losses, he defended him, believed he can feel emotions, empathy, and is as much a real boy as another duck with flesh and blood despite his robotic upbringing. Danny Pudi did an outstanding job giving Huey such a range of emotions that readily convinced the audience to believe him no matter the odds.
