Rich Gossage announced today that he will enter the Hall of Fame as a Yankee. What ever his decision was I would be happy for him, but this makes it even better! He will forever be remembered a Yankee and that makes me feel proud as a Yankee fan. The Padres or the Yankees were the two teams most people speculated he would pick from the nine he played for. He ended up picking the Yankees, being “tickled” to join the elite group within the HOF. A lot of Gossage’s family were also Yankee fans so his time with the Bombers was especially special to him. Goose is certainly very happy about his inclusion, as any player would be. He gave a very emotional thanks to the fans, media, and Major League Baseball for the experience. He was also very touched when he was called up the podium (where he was also reacquainted with former teammate and Yankee Reggie Jackson) when his inclusion was announced. He will be inducted on July 27th of this year, which will surely be another happy day. Congrats Goose, you deserve it!
