Koosman Jailed For Tax Evasion


Sad news. Jerry Koosman screwed up. He failed to file federal tax returns between 2002 & 2004. He owed as much as $80,000. We will be "putting him up" (in jail) for 6 months.

For those of you who may not have existed in 1969, Koosman, a southpaw, helped the 1969 Miracle Mets win the World Series. In New York (and parts of Chicago) the '69 National League East pennant race was and is legendary. Koosman is truely N.Y. Mets Royalty!

Ironic to see that a masterful pitcher of 40 years ago should screw up over something as common as paying federal income tax.
