Farewell to Moose




Facts:

Wins - 270

Most 10 plus win seasons - 17

Gold Gloves - 6


There are more stats that can be posted about this mans career. The one stat you never will see on the back of a baseball card is 'heart'. Mike Mussina was more than capable of giving you (to use an old cliché) 110% every fifth day–and did so for his entire career. AND he did this during the steroid era. If this season were in the late 70's - early 80's, we may even be talking about Mussinas' season as Cy Young worthy ( not to understate Cliff Lee's season of domination ). I think we should hear a moose call in five years in Cooperstown.
