Gooooooooooose!!

One of my favorite baseball players of all time, Rich "Goose" Gossage, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame today after eight years on the ballot. With his nasty scowl and his fu manchu mustache, Goose was one of the most intimidating relief pitchers in the game during his time with the Yankees in the late 70's. I used to imitate his glare and his wind-up in my back yard when I was a kid and I'd holler "Goooooose" whenever I saw him on TV. Congrats to Goose - it was a long time coming.
