The Mets Police: Cool Jerry Koosman Article

Cool Jerry Koosman Article

I found a pretty cool Jerry Koosman article in Minneapolis Star-Tribune

By the spring of 1966, it looked as if Koosman was going to be among the players released before the start of the minor league schedules.

"There are two stories as to why that didn't happen,'' Koosman said recently. "One was that Frank Lary, the Mets' minor league pitching coach, put in a word for me. The other was that I owed Joe McDonald, the Mets' farm director, 50 bucks, and he didn't want to get rid of me before he got his money back.''

For the rest click here. You youngsters need to know who this guy is. He is one of the all-time great Mets, and a name you hear far less than say Todd Pratt, and that's not right.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
