Those are great insights on Jerry Koosman - thanks, I really enjoyed that. It is baffling that he doesn't get more respect or reverence, considering he was a main cog of a great era for Mets baseball. Tom Terrific overshadowed him no doubt, but gosh, where would the Mets have been if they only had one of them? Maybe the analogy of Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen isn't quite right, but it seems close. As a Cubs fan I always dreaded the one-two punch of Seaver and Koosman coming to town. We had Fergie Jenkins but he never had a long term dominating side kick like Koosman. Bill Hands and Ken Holtzman were no Jerry Koosman.

An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland, arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty thousand dollars in a single roll of the dice. She said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude." with that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, "Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!" As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed. "Yes! Yes! I won, I won!" She hugged each of the dealers, picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed. The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, "What did she roll?" The other answered, "I don't know - I thought you were watching."
