Yankees: Goose Gossage, the get off my lawn guy

Goose Gossage is going the way of the dinosaur. And so are the people that think similarly to the 66-year-old Hall of Fame Yankees reliever.

I get that many of his best years were spent with the Yanks — and that his fiery disposition and electric stuff were just part of the reason as to why Goose was a nine-time All-Star and 1978 World Champion.

But times have changed. And Gossage has become an unnecessary distraction.

These new Yankees, led by their rookie manager must keep their heads down and fight for every victory.
