Jerry Koosman is a former left-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Phillies between 1967 and 1985. He was generally considered the #2 starter on the Miracle Mets when they won the World Series in 1969, behind only Tom Seaver. Koosman broke into the Mets' rotation in 1968. Koosman would be named to the 1968 Topps All-Star Rookie Roster and finish runner-up to Johnny Bench for the National League Rookie of the Year honors. Koosman was the pitching star of the 1969 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. After a 3-15 season in 1978 Koosman, seeing no imminent improvement to the team, was traded to the Minnesota Twins at his request. Koosman was inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1989. With 222 wins, he is tied (with Hooks Dauss) at #70 on the all-time win list. He ended his career with a 222-209 record and a 3.36 ERA in 612 games. He struck out 2556 batters in 3839 and 1/3 innings pitched.
