75 decent.. 85 better if you must go.. He had dementia for a while though..
When and if the brain goes I want to go myself.. Pull the plug, See ya.. See what's next??
Life always has an expiration date.. No need to suffer, be a crutch for others if you are brain farting, and only be a small fraction of your former self..
He's probably happy to go.

i remember when he came t the reds. He gave up a couple hits and johnny bench came out to talk to him. tom terrific told bench to get back behind the plate and never come to the mound again. Been to couple roasts where bench likes to tell that story.
really good pitcher. i appreciated him more as i got older and would see his stats. my dad was a little upset hearing this even as a yankees fan. a NY sports icon is gone.

in the mid 70's I was still pretty much in diapers but I know enough of him and seen enough footage to recognize he was an all time great, not just a generational great, but an all time great.
Seave, Palmer, Gibson, Carlton were to their era what Pedro, Maddux, etc. were to our generation.

RIP Tom Terrific.
Dementia and Lander's low-rent greasy diet lead to forgettable human waste.
A bad combination.
