When I was 20 and the low man on the totem pole (as I should have), as a treat, I’d get assigned occasionally to the Pirates. One night, did a sidebar on Jerry Koosman , then 42 with the Phillies and still effective. I kind of star struck but he couldn’t have been nicer. RIP

We are saddened to share the news that Jerry Koosman has passed away. We send our thoughts and prayers to his family.

No Gold Gloves for Brandon Lowe or Jared Triolo, but there was some WPIAL representation. North Allegheny’s Cole Young (Mariners) was the AL Gold Glove winner at second base. More: https://t.co/wFvVGXKIOm
