Tom Seaver. The Franchise. Tom Terrific.

No matter what name he went by, Seaver, who died on Monday at the age of 75, was a New York Mets legend.

In his 10 seasons in Queens, Seaver won a franchise-record 198 games, the 1967 NL Rookie of the Year award and three Cy Youngs. He solidified his place in Mets history with a dazzling performance during the 1969 Miracle Mets’ run to the World Series title.

There will forever be no shortage of Seaver memories. Here are a few of The Post’s favorite, in photos:
