I found a pretty cool Jerry Koosman article in Minneapolis Star-Tribune
By the spring of 1966, it looked as if Koosman was going to be among the players released before the start of the minor league schedules.
“There are two stories as to why that didn’t happen,” Koosman said recently. “One was that Frank Lary, the Mets’ minor league pitching coach, put in a word for me. The other was that I owed Joe McDonald, the Mets’ farm director, 50 bucks, and he didn’t want to get rid of me before he got his money back.”
For the rest click here. You youngsters need to know who this guy is. He is one of the all-time great Mets, and a name you hear far less than say Todd Pratt, and that’s not right.
