Mets to Honor Jerry Koosman with Memorial Patch in 2027

The New York Mets will wear a memorial patch for Jerry Koosman during the 2027 season. Koosman passed away at 83 after battling multiple illnesses. Owners Steve and Alex Cohen called him one of the franchise’s greatest pitchers. Former teammate Ron Swoboda said, “He was a warrior.” Koosman made his major league debut in 1967 and won 140 games with a 3.09 ERA.

Now that’s a legacy worth honoring! Talk about a career that’s well done, not raw!
