MISSING IN ACTION- 1971 GREG GOOSSEN

Today on the blog we have a “missing” 1971 career-capper for former first baseman Greg Goossen, who played the last of his Big League games during the 1970 season:


Goossen finished his MLB career with a split season between the Milwaukee Brewers and finally the Washington Senators, playing in a combined 42 games and hitting .241 with 20 hits over 83 at-bats.
In 1969 with the Pilots he had his best year, hitting .309 in 52 games for the one-year organization, with a power surge of 10 homers in only 139 at-bats.
Over his six seasons under the Big League sun he hit .241 with 111 hits in 460 at-bats spread out over 193 games between 1965 and 1970, playing for the New York Mets, Seattle Pilots, Brewers and Senators.
