Flashback 1978 Mets Trade Jerry Koosman a great lefty for another lefty yet to make his mark


Oh what mark he made. It was the end of the 1978 season and Jerry Koosman had at that point enough of the Mets and there losing ways. He had come off a 21 win season only 2 years prior but in 1978 he won only 3 games while losing 15. Well the Mets listened to the lefty and did him a favor and traded him. He was traded for a nobody Greg Field and a player to be named later. That player to be named later was non other then Jesse Orosco.


Read how the 2 players spend a couple of minutes together at Shea Goodbye. Also catch how the 2 of them share a pretty interesting Met Shea World Series memory here
