The Goose Is Loose

Just thought I'd share my experience driving Goose Gossage to an autograph event 1.5 hrs away in my car. It's not everyday you can take a ride with a HOFer in your own car. Goose is the most down to earth guy you can meet. Here are a few photos from today and yes I had him sign my dashboard.

He has an awesome signature.

Did he drop any F-bombs or cuss out Yankees management?

I’m surprised he didn’t write “Go to hell Yanks!”

Hey Ron, that is really special. That kind of experience doesn't come around often.

The Goose was in Bethlehem (PA) Sunday & Monday at our Charitable Fund Raising event & couldn't have been nicer to everyone there.

Great story...I would have never thought of having him sign the dashboard!!

I met Goose a few years ago at the National. He was just walking through the show floor and was recognized by nobody!!!!! I asked to take a picture and he smiled and said he would love to. I was shocked at the fact he was so much less intimidating that I expected him to be. I had met him back in the day when he was playing for the Cubs and for some reason my minds eye remembers him to be taller than I was and I am 6'4.

Goose is a very nice guy and he takes the time each year to attend the Yankees Boys and girls club lunch. (He makes a face when I put his rookie card down because it is not a yankee card) So I would think his current relationship with the Yankees is good.

That is very cool, Ron!!!
