Goose Gossage Signed Photo
Richard Michael “Goose” Gossage is a former Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher. During a 22-year baseball career, he pitched for nine different teams, spending his best years with the New York Yankees and San Diego Padres. Gossage was one of the earliest manifestations of the modern closer, with facial hair and a gruff demeanor to go along with his fastball. He led the American League in saves three times and was runner-up twice; by the end of the 1987 season, he ranked second in major-league career saves, trailing only Rollie Fingers, although by the end of his career his total of 310 had slipped to fourth all-time. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008. He now works in broadcasting.
