1969 Topps, Jerry Koosman

Card No. 90

Thanks to Nolan Ryan I'll never actually own a Jerry Koosman rookie card, so his second-year card from 1969 will have to do....Ryan and Koosman shared a "Rookie Stars" card in the '68 set....I snagged this beauty from a card show many years ago....The condition is less than pristine but I couldn't care less...."Kooz" is third in franchise history with 140 victories and is one of only three hurlers to register 100 W's as a Met....Pitched a complete-game gem in Game 5 of the '69 Series, as the Miracle Mets finished off the heavily-favored Orioles.
