The Mets have now got another pitcher of that quality and personality. And, we have seen this year - even with spotty work behind him, how Santana owns the mound. No matter how this season turns out, he's done extraordinarily well and deserves our sincere thanks. Just think - he'll be back next year , and......... When I was young I saw Sandy Koufax pitch.
