Goose Hearts Rickey

Posted by Steve Lombardi on January 8, 2008

New Cooperstown Hall-of-Famer Rich Gossage loved Rickey Henderson.  But, I don't think the feeling was mutual.  Thanks to Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index Pitcher Vs. Batter Finder, for the Goose, shows us that Henderson faced Gossage 11 times in his career - and Rickey whiffed 9 times (and walked twice).  On the flipside, the late Darrell Porter faced Goose 30 times in his career - and never whiffed once.  Play Index tells us all about it.
