Bert on retaliation HBPs

Shockingly, he's a fan.

Really fun read though. Goose Gossage is a trip.

Really good

The Goose quotes make this a great read:

Gossage: "Hitters never showed me up, as hard as I threw. And I was pretty mean out on the mound. Guys hauled ass around the bases when they hit a home run off of me. And if they ever did [take their time], somebody was going to get plugged. That’s just the way it was.’’

Ha I wish he was a twin.

Man Gossage was an ogre.

Nice post.

Bert talking about a game where Juan Beniquez got plunked and he threw a retaliation pitch: “If I don’t protect Juan Beniquez right there, I’m the biggest sissy out there. And I’m not a sissy.”

Haha that’s my favorite quote from the article.
