	The Ballplayers - Goose Gossage \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Gossage was extremely effective during the strike-shortened 1981 season, allowing just 22 hits in 47 innings to go with 48 strikeouts and 20 saves.
		Gossage compiled 72 saves during his first three seasons with the Padres, but slumped after being traded to the Chicago Cubs in a deal for Keith Moreland in 1988 and was released at the end of the season.
		The veteran stopper, by this point relegated to duty as a setup man, caught on with the San Francisco Giants in 1989 but was placed on waivers during the season and re-signed with the Yankees for the remainder of the year.

		Gossage, however, still has seven more opportunities to be elected by the writers, and he should need only one more.
		And Gossage will find a year from now, when he gets the call, that the wait will have been worth it.

		In an era where closers routinely went three innings and weren't pampered, Gossage was unquestionably the most powerful and intimidating presence of them all.
		In 1985, while with the San Diego Padres, Gossage notched 26 saves, with an ERA of 1.82 and gave up just one home run in 79 innings.
		Goose played eight more seasons at half-speed and those years have obviously done him more harm than good.

	GOOSE GOSSAGE – HALL OF FAME OR SITT (OR BOTH)
		Rich Gossage was a dominant pitcher when he took the mound, there is no question.
		Goose compares favorably with two other ‘pseuedo contemporaries’ — Jeff Reardon (’79 — ’94) and Bruce Sutter (’76 — ’88).
		I think Goose is satisfied to let his career performance speak for itself; and I think it shouts loud and clear.

	SportsForums.net - I met Goose Gossage
		Since the closer position is such a relatively new position in baseball few, if any, closers have gotten the recognition that they are due as far as recognition in the HoF goes.
		I do agree that no Smith in the Hall = no Goose in the Hall, but I think that they should both be there.
		The problem with the closer position is that there is no threshold of saves that they can cross that would "guarantee" them a spot in the Hall.
