Goose Gossage signed this OML baseball on the sweet spot, adding a really unique inscription under his name. The blue ballpoint pen signature reads, "Goose Gossage, HOF 2008" and "It's about Fucking Time" indicating his long wait to get in the Hall of Fame. Although Rich "Goose" Gossage played for 9 different teams over the course of his 22-season career, he is best known for his 6 seasons in New York with the Yankees. During that time, Gossage revolutionized the position of Closer, heading a new generation of big, tough, power pitchers to anchor bullpens across the league. A 9-Time All Star, Gossage finished his career with 310 saves, and a sparkling 2.05 ERA. Signature is authenticated by JSA with a basic COA.
