2008 Hall of Fame inductee Goose Gossage is Harold Reynolds’ guest on MLB.com’s Baseball Channel. Harold plays a little “This is Your Life” when he surprises the Goose by bringing his former manager Chuck Tanner into the interview. Goose was rather touched it seemed.
Also during the interview, Gossage talked of Dick Allen and how he took him under his wing and was instrumental in teaching Gossage about pitching from a hitter’s point of view.
I’ve heard a lot of things about Dick Allen but this anecdote gave me a different insight into the man.
