Jerry Koosman passed away today he was on the mound for the final out of the 1969 World Series, having won both of his starts to help the New York Mets to their improbable championship. He was an excellent pitcher in the post-season, posting a perfect 4-0 record with 31 K's in 40 1/3 innings. Koosman was the left-handed complement to righty Tom Seaver on the Mets for more than a decade. He retired with 222 wins and more than 2,500 strikeouts.
He played For:
New York Mets (1967-1978)
Minnesota Twins (1979-1981)
Chicago White Sox (1981-1983)
Philadelphia Phillies (1984-1985)
Similar: Mickey Lolich, Jerry Reuss
Linked: Tom Seaver and Jon Matlack, who were in the Met rotation with Koosman, from 1972-1977... Jesse Orosco, for whom he was traded to the Twins... Randy Jones won the 1976 NL Cy Young Award, despite Koosman's seemingly better season. Some speculated that Jones won because sympathetic voters did not want him to finish second in voting two years in a row. In 1975, Jones had been runner-up to Seaver... Pete Rose collected his 4,000th career hit of Koosman, on April 13, 1984.
Best Season, 1969
Koosman won 17 games during the regular season, when he fashioned a 2.28 ERA, which ranked fifth in the circuit. In the post-season, the lefty won Game Two of the LCS against the Braves, took Game Two of the World Series, and was on the mound for the final out of the Series in Game Five.
Factoid
On the final day of the 1979 season, Koosman shut out the Milwauke Brewers, 5-0 for his 20th win. The shut out was the Brewers only one of the entire season, preventing them from joining the 1932 Yankees as the onlt teams to not be whitewashed during a season.
Post-Season Notes
Koosman won twice in the '69 Series, and once each in the '73 Playoffs and World Series.
Feats: Koosman twice fanned 15 batters in a game: first on May 28, 1969, in ten innings against the expansion Padres; and again on June 23, 1980, against the Royals in a 4-1 victory. Koosman struck out ten or more batters in a game twenty times.
Milestones
On August 19, 1983, in the second game of a doubleheader in Texas, Koosman won his 200th career game, pitching the White Sox to a 6-1 victory.
Notes
Koosman holds New York Mets franchise records for most career starts by a lefty (346), and most starts in a season by a lefty (35 in 1973 and '74). He is also tied for most consecutive complete games (eight in 1976), and tied for most innings pitched in one season by a lefty (265 along with Jon Matlack in 1974.)

Milestones November 1
🎙️ Did you know? Vic Power was born on this day . . .
Power was a stylish, exuberant, showboating first baseman who won seven Gold Gloves. The righthander made all catches one-handed with a wide, sweeping motion. He frequently led AL first basemen in every fielding category. After leading the American Association with a .349 BA in 1953, the black Puerto Rican joined Elston Howard as the first black players on the Yankees' roster, but Power was traded to the Athletics before the season began. A good contact hitter, he batted over .300 three times in his dozen ML seasons. Although not a big basestealer, he stole home twice in one game against Detroit in 1958.
A quick-witted wisecracker, he was once arrested for jaywalking in the South. "I thought the `Don't Walk' sign was for whites only," he told the judge. "I've seen so many of those signs in this town."
