pretty decent Goose Gossage was inducted into the Hall of Fame yesterday, and although none of us here at TSB watched it (seriously, was it on TV? I couldn’t find it), we thought it fitting to pay tribute to the man with the best baseball mustache this side of Rollie Fingers. Actually, scrap all that nonsense. We really just wanted to post this photo of Goose giving Mary Lou Retton some sugar before the 1984 World Series:

That throwback Padres hat, however, will always be cool. ↵
