Introducing Goose is a dream for Mets' Wagner


Mets' closer Billy Wagner gets to do something that makes him feel like a kid again. Not only is Wagner being honored with the Ben Epstein "Good Guy" award at the 85th annual Baseball Writers' Association of America (New York Chapter) dinner this coming Sunday evening, but he will also get to introduce fellow closer, and newly inducted member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Rich "Goose" Gossage.


Said Wagner of the honor, "I mean it's a real honor for me to introduce one of the great closers of all time. But am I the right guy to do that?" "He's going into the Hall. How do I give him his just due?"
