This is the story of an obscure big-league baseball journeyman from a half-century ago and the Preakness Stakes horse that bears his name. Jim Gosger is the former ballplayer, now an 82-year-old Michigan man who bounced around the Majors in the 1960s and ’70s with six different clubs, was the last batter to face immortal pitcher Satchel Paige, and who was once declared dead by the New York Mets.
