...games, lost only three and averaged 18 strikeouts a game. The Mets were interested in anyone who even sounded that good. Koosman was signed and packed off to the minors in 1965. There his record was not overwhelming. He enjoyed his best season in 1966, winning twelve and losing seven for the Auburn, N.Y., Mets. But his performance in New York was all that mattered...
