Hope Clearwater/Tampa FL. area anons turn up & support Goose Gossage:
Goose Gossage: ‘It’s like the Democrats are running baseball’
Monday Yankees-Red Sox rivalry show in Clearwater will bring back old stories and feelings for eight former players. For Gossage, it could be another opportunity to unload on the game he once loved. “I don’t even watch the game anymore,’’ Gossage said. “It breaks my heart that I can’t sit down and watch nine innings of baseball because it’s not the game I was brought up playing and respecting and loving…
“I don’t even recognize this game that they’re playing. I really don’t. You get paid all this money for doing less, doing half.’’
“These (stat-driven) workouts are all eyewash. It’s a bunch of bulls—. It’s like the Democrats are running baseball.’’
"They’re trying to control something that is uncontrollable. And they’re taking all the beauty out of the game.’’
Gossage will be joined Monday by fellow Hall of Famer Wade Boggs (who played for both teams), plus Dent, Mickey Rivers, Luis Tiant, Bernie Carbo and the odd couple pairing of Bill Lee and Graig Nettles, who fought famously in 1976 after Lou Piniella sparked a brawl by crashing into Carlton Fisk.
Yankees radio broadcaster Suzyn Waldman will host what’s billed as a program of stories, videos and a Q-and-A, with tickets starting at $25 and a VIP package at $79, available at rutheckerdhall.com.
