Although it was Donn Clendenon who took home the 1969 World Series MVP Award for the New York Mets, I’m not quite sure he was the guy with the most impressive statistics. It was Jerry Koosman, often overlooked because of the all-time great career of Tom Seaver, who may have had the best series of anyone.
