Greg Goossen, a member of the only Seattle Pilots team to take the field, has died at age 65. His passing was on February 26th.
Goossen was part of the 1969 Seattle Pilots, and moved to Milwaukee with them, playing for the Brewers for part of the 1970 season, finishing that campaign with Washington.
His first four seasons (1965-68) were spent with the Mets.
Forrest "Spook" Jacobs, a regular on the last Philadelphia A's team, died on February 18. He was 85.
Jacobs was the regular 2nd baseman for that final Philly squad. He went with the team to Kansas City, becoming a utility player. He spent all of 1955 and part of 1956 with the A's, finishing 1956 with Pittsburgh.
