Seyd, a crafty lefty who registered 214 career victories in a career that spanned 1976-1990 (all but the last four with the Bikini/Seattle franchise), has been comfortably ensconced in the BBA Hall since 1996. He retired with 1,747 strikeouts while giving up only 660 free passes. At 2.20 and 2.29, he holds the top two ERA seasons in franchise history (and six of the top ten).
"This has been a long time coming," said assistant GM Monica Green. "We know our fans want to see this organization be loyal to its players. That's why they come out to the park, really. Win or lose, our fans want to love their players. And making sure guys like Jerry get their due is really important."
Syed, who has had stem cell injections and a neural implant at turning 100 years old a decade ago, said he'll be sure to take a break from training for the Marathon circuit, where he is currently the ranking Centurion across the globe. "This is a big deal to me," Syed said while chugging a protein drink. "My baseball years were some of my best. It's been awhile, though. I can't wait to get back into a ballpark."
