Hall of Famer Tom Seaver has been diagnosed with dementia. Though most identify Seaver as a NY Met, he spent the second half of 1977 through 1982 in Cincy earning 75 of his 311 career wins. Seaver was the rare power pitcher who knew how to pitch. From the Washington Times:
Baseball legend Tom Seaver diagnosed with dementia

NEW YORK — Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver has been diagnosed with dementia and has retired from public life.
The family of the 74-year-old made the announcement Thursday through the Hall. They say Seaver will continue to work in the vineyard at his home in California.
Seaver has limited his public appearances in recent years. He didn’t attend the Baseball Writers’ Association of America dinner in January when members of the New York Mets’ 1969 World Series championship team were honored.
