    I had the honor of having the middle urinal in between Frank and Goose Gossage at a sports card show in San Francisco back in the day. I mentioned to Goose that he had a wonderful won loss record in Appleton in '71 (18-2!) and to Frank if he still had his MVP trophies of the AL ,NL, All-Star game and World Series. Frank just mumbled something but Goose said how do you remember that stuff!

    Very underrated ballplayer and person....He had not been well for a few years now and even though it is sad to see him go, he finally can RIP.

    The mid 1960's to early 1970's Oriole dynasty would not have happened had the Reds not decided he was "An Old 30" and traded him to Baltimore. Other than a Cy Young, he won pretty much every other award in baseball at least once and broke the managerial color barrier. He wasn't always warm and fuzzy, but he was a winner!
