Well keep it in a safe place and hope to hell that we can use it for Harvey and Wheeler when the time comes! LOL

That’s a great way of putting it, Metsie. Wish I had thought of that myself when I wrote the blog.

Thanks Chris.

One of the main reasons I put KOOZ in was due to his post-season performances. He really was our Big Game Pitcher

I agree about #36 being retired.

Seaver may have killed teams but it was Koosman who boxed them up and nailed the coffin shut!

I’m really enjoying this series very much,. I was so proud of Koosman when he won those 21 games in 1976 and was just as devastated when we traded him as I was when we traded Seaver. I loved both of them because they came up together and transformed the franchise together. Great post, Tie Dyed!

Very nice article. My all time favorite Met. They should have retired his number a long time ago. Very clutch pitcher. Glad he is getting some recognition.

Great article. Brought back tons of memories. It is an UNPARDONABLE SIN!!!! that his #36 has not been retired.
