Gossage Inducted Into Baseball Hall of Fame

"Here's the Goose: Gossage," Joe Garagiola would say, when the Yankees were featured on NBC's Game of the Week in the late 70's.

He was big and mean and had a 98-mile-an-hour fastball, and he would show up when Ron Guidry or Catfish Hunter got tired, so hitters from other teams back then really hated the Yankees.

Congratulations, Goose.
