In the 2025 Preakness Stakes, a horse named 'Gosger,' named after former MLB player Jim Gosger, is generating buzz, attracting 'Mets money.' Owned by Harvey Clarke Racing Stables, the horse has odds of 20-1. Gosger, who once faced Satchel Paige, expressed his excitement about the recognition. Despite a modest MLB career, he is celebrated for his unique stories, including being mistakenly announced as deceased by the Mets. He participated briefly in the historic 'Miracle Mets' season but never received a World Series ring, gaining recognition later in life instead.
Don't be surprised if a lot of 'Mets money' shows up on a long shot in Saturday's Preakness Stakes.
Gosger was tagged with 20-1 odds on the morning line, tied for the biggest price on the board with No. 5 Pay Billy.
It's amazing. I'm so darn excited about something like this. I had a good career playing ball.
I grounded out, and as I was running by him to grab my glove, he grabbed my arm and it scared the [heck] out of me.
