I remember him. He was a great pitcher. He led the Miracle Mets in 1969 to their first pennant.

And a very smart human.

Probably the most dominant pitcher I ever saw; 25-7 in 1969, including a near perfect game against the Cubs, who had Santo, Banks and Billy Williams in their lineup. Jimmy Qualls! I also saw him win his 300th game in NY against my team, the Yankees.

Thanks for the memories, Tom. RIP.
