Joey Seaver

I saw this pitcher in the Baseball Reference database and wondered if he was in anyway related to Tom Seaver. He wasn't. Joey Seaver's brief professional career was as far from Tom Terrific as anyone's could be. After being drafted by Detroit , Baltimore and Milwaukee he finally ended up in rookie ball for the Brewers playing in Helena, Montana for the Gold Sox. He struggled and he was gone. But his post playing days were the opposite of a fallen All Star like Chuck Knoblauch. Joey Seaver enjoyed an outstanding career as a college coach and mentor. He was beloved . Does anyone have an image of George "Joey" Seaver from his playing days at Helena or from his days as a Tennessee Volunteer? Much appreciated. The last link is an article from 2018 shortly after his passing.
