1979 Topps Flashback: Jerry Koosman started his 19-year career playing in parts of 12 seasons with the Mets and he ended his career with two uneventful seasons with the Phillies. Between 1967 and 1978, Koosman was a two-time All-Star and compiled a 140-137 record with the Mets. In four World Series games, in 1969 and 1973, Koosman went 3-0 with a 2.39 ERA. His time with the 1984-1985 Phillies was less impressive, although he did manage a 20-19 record in 55 games with a 3.67 ERA.
Tim McCarver played in parts of nine seasons with the Phillies between 1970 and 1972 and again between 1975 and 1980. He joined the Phillies broadcast booth in 1980, partnering up for three seasons with Harry Kalas, Richie Ashburn, Andy Musser and Chris Wheeler. In 1983, McCarver joined the Mets broadcast team, where he would stay through the 1998 season. I have very vivid memories of my Pop-Pop tuning into Mets games on Channel 9 in the '80s, simply to yell at McCarver for the inane comments he'd make throughout the broadcast.
