Hall of Famer Goose Gossage will be the 2026 OTBA Banquet Speaker

GOOSE GOSSAGE played 21 seasons for nine different teams, spending his best years with the New York Yankees and San Diego Padres, before retiring in 1994.

In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Goose Gossage was one of the earliest manifestations of the dominating closer, with wild facial hair and a gruff demeanor to go along with his blistering fastball.

During his career, Gossage pitched in 1,002 games and finished 681 of them and earned 310 saves. He made nine All-Star appearances and pitched in three World Series. He led the American League in saves in 1975 (26), 1978 (27) and 1980 (33). He holds the New York Yankees career record for ERA (2.14) and hits per nine innings (6.59).
