Description
Washington Senators baseball jersey worn by Claude Osteen (b. 1939) A left handed pitcher, Osteen's first season in the Major Leagues was in 1957 when the 17 year old Tennessee native pitched four innings over three games for the Cincinnati Reds (at the time known as the Redlegs.)
After a year out of the Majors, Osteen returned in 1959, staying in the League 17 more years, playing for the Reds (until 1961), Washington Senators (1961-1964), Los Angeles Dodgers (1965-1973), Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals (1974) and Chicago White Sox (1975).
Overall, Osteen compiled a 196-195 Win-Loss Record, along with a 3.30 earned run average and 1,612 strikeouts. Nicknamed Gomer, Osteen was named to three All-Star teams and won one World Series, all while on the Dodgers.
