Happy Birthday Jerry Koosman

I haven’t plugged my buddy Lou over at Centerfield Maz in quite some time, but here on Jerry Koosman’s birthday (also Metsivus), please treat yourself to Maz’s recap of the great career of Jerry Koosman.

His is a name never spoken by the younglings and barely mentioned around Citi Field.

If you’re below say 40 do yourself a favor and learn about The Third Greatest Pitcher in Mets history and if you do know about Jerry, treat yourself to the wonderful pictures in the article and ask yourself why in hell they ever messed with the uniforms and jackets.

Centerfield Maz should be in your regular rotation of Mets blogs…it’s one of those that I especially appreciate because (like so many of the Mets blogs) it is different and marches to its own editorial calendar.
