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.

The photo on the left shows Joey Seaver as a pitcher for the Tennessee Volunteers. It's from the Kingsport (TN) Times-News of March 12, 1986. The photo on the right shows him after he was drafted by the Tigers out of Walters State Community College. It's from the Kingsport times-News of Feb. 13, 1984.
