Two quick points that haven't been mentioned:- It was Mike Vail's fantastic debut that led the Mets to believe they had a replacement for Staub. As a kid collecting baseball cards and watching ballgames in the '70s, I remember being struck by Lolich's belly.

Randy Tate Other than some one saying he ate donuts rather than come back to NY, does anyone know the real reason why he didn't pitch in 77? All of you New Yorkers are forgetting how the Tigers fared in this deal of Staub/Lolich. Bob P McLain got all the publicity but Lolich got the wins in post season 1968. August 11, 2015 He goes up one notch for being a character! Like Seaver and Koosman, Mickey had pretty meager run support throughout his career. In this World Series, Lolich pitched three complete games and allowed only five runs an ERA of 1.67. Bobster1985 Jim Snedeker pete September 24, 2005 As it is, he was traded to a team with a set of already existent aces- Seaver and Koosman.

He started 45 games and completed 29. Lolich may have gone 8-13 in 1976 but Koosman did even worse the next two years (1977 and 1978). So why did you try to destroy the guy? Maybe Rusty was not in his prime when the Tigers got him, but the man could still swing the bat. Maudlin, anecdotal sentiment at its best! You can't be serious. Mickey loved his Harley.

The date was December 12, 1975, a Friday. His era of 3.22 is only .09% more than 20-game winner Carlton for the Phils. Mickey pitched almost 200 innings in 76, gave up less hits than innings and his era was in the low 3.00's. Lolich pitched fairly well with the Mets, in fact I recall a 2-0 shutout at Shea he pitched against the Cardinals in about two hours. February 25, 2003 Pitchers have good days and then once in a while they hang a curve? After spending five seasons in the minor leagues, he made his major league debut with the Tigers on May 12, 1963 at the age of 22. Five years before he became a Met, Lolich threw for 376 innings! As for his love of donuts, he could have been the prototype for Homer Simpson. I have to respectfully disagree with NYB Buff's claim that Lolich belongs in Cooperstown.

Within a year, the corpulent Lolich had retired to open a doughnut shop in suburban Detroit. Lolich may have gone 8-13 in 1976 but Koosman did even worse the next two years (1977 and 1978). There were some games where the Mets did not give him support. This has never happened before? This happened because M. Donald Grant, usurper/dictator of the New York Mets, was personally annoyed by Rusty Staub. See which Mets players have spent the most time walking the Earth. I'll take Mickey's pitching line - except for W&L - any time. As a 44-year-old with a beer belly, I can relate. The two 13-inning games didn't even count for complete games because they went 15 innings! This has never happened before? I'll start with full disclosure: I was (and still am) bitter that the Mets gave up one of my favorite players, Rusty Staub, to get Lolich-- who was well past his prime. He played in Major League Baseball as a pitcher from 1962 until 1979, most notably for the Detroit Tigers. But keeping 105-RBI Staub would have provided middle lineup power 100% of the time. His not being elected to Cooperstown is a major oversight. GoMets2006 Lolich was a newcomer that was a big loser, and he reminded us of how stupid the Mets management was for always going after fading superstars. But then Vail got hurt, and Kranepool and the aging Torre got more playing time.The better plan was to keep Staub, and let Milner and Vail fight for a spot. He normally threw lots of pitches and completed a high percentage of his games. December 20, 2019 Mickey Lolich is one of my favorite players. November 10, 2002 Lolich hit a home run in the World Series- and so what does that mean, that he was a great hitter? September 24, 2005 Three bad starts on 8/3 and 8/13 as well as his next to last start on 9/15 is what really bloated his ERA, not that 3.22 even in the '70s was that shabby.Yes, he was far removed from his prime but to say he sucked is pretty short sighted and flies in the face of the fact that he pitched well enough to be a 12-15 game winner, but then this is the same year Seaver pitched Cy Young caliber ball and went only 14-11. But in his final season with the Tigers, he became the all-time leader in strikeouts for left-handed pitchers. He never had much to say about Lolich's donut shop though. November 19, 2002 Shari Or even a platoon as Vail was righty, and Milner was lefty.In the days of 4-man rotation, Seaver-Koosman-Matlack had them covered 75% of the time. The fact of the matter is New York is a what have you done for me lately kind of city, and when Lolich came to the Mets he pitched like a nobody. November 3, 2006 Like Seaver and Koosman, Mickey had pretty meager run support throughout his career. Mickey was at the tail end of his career when he came to the Mets. He normally threw lots of pitches and completed a high percentage of his games. 3.50 was more of a mediocre E.R.A in those days.About his profile of 6'1" and 170 lbs., I looked him up in the Baseball Encyclopedia and that's what they have. HmmBaseball Reference.com is usually beyond redoubt, but I would say with almost unimpeachable certainty that Mickey Lolich weighed somewhere in the vicinity of 240 by the time he was huffing and puffing his way up the pitchers mound at Shea in 1976.Another awful trade, courtesy of M. Donald Grant, who couldn't wait to run Rusty Staub (coming off a team-record setting 105 RBI season) out of town, weeks after Mrs. Payson passed away. September 24, 2005 That's more realistic but generous, I think! But this one defied all logic from the beginning. NO WAY he was 170 pounds. Bobster1985 I agree with Doughnut Shoppe patron. To the guy who scored the game when Lolich gave up two homers to the no name pitcher- big deal? I simply loved to see him walk onto the mound; I knew that we as a ball club would be a winner any time he pitched, but as they always say time moves on, but our memory is always around. (And of course Donald Grant) The Mets had to fill 2 corner outfield spots and first base. Then they all got old and the team slid into rebuilding- different than the Mets? In that same year he went 13, 13, 12, 11 and 10 innings in 5 games. And complaining about how fat he was? Have to maintain "A Clean Resort for Clean People" LO reputation. But I think the final verdict has to be that neither team would have fared much differently with or without the Lolich/Staub trade. Randy Tate May 7, 2013 feat fan He later came back to play for the Padres. Jamey Bumbalo Let me say that again, 376 and that's without a pitch count. October 19, 2011 Believe me if he pitched like the ace he was in Detroit no one here would have been so quick to criticize the trade. March 2, 2003 Lolich won complete games in Games 2 & 5 and faced and beat Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 7 by the score of 4-1 as the Tigers won the World Championship. May 7, 2013 For a fourth starter, on a four man rotation, Lolich was decent. His era of 3.22 is only .09% more than 20-game winner Carlton for the Phils. I don't know, I'm not a Mets expert. Mickey Lolich so despised the Mets experience that he sat home and ate donuts for a year rather than play again in New York. December 20, 2019 support. Mike B C'mon John, the Mets did the Tigers a huge favor by taking this washed-up pitcher off their hands and giving them a great hitter like Rusty. Feat Fan As somebody mentioned previously, this is really all Mike Vail's fault. Lolich may have been a great pitcher once, but by 1976 he was a has-been. October 2, 2005 Grant was a real hindrance to the Mets. His three wins in the 1968 Series against the Cardinals were the apex of his career. During the resort era 1897-1900's, Assembly Island (formerly Spencer Island and now Bellevue Island) was the main stage for traveling acts. The Mets traded the best player they ever had for a bunch of stiffs. What an interesting parallel, huh? I'll take Mickey's pitching line - except for W&L - any time. But this one defied all logic from the beginning. A Staub-Kingman combo would have provided more run support for big three, and probably a 90+ win season.

The Mets traded the best player they ever had for a bunch of stiffs. What an interesting parallel, huh? I'll take Mickey's pitching line - except for W&L - any time. But this one defied all logic from the beginning. A Staub-Kingman combo would have provided more run support for big three, and probably a 90+ win season. December 20, 2019 That would make him a star in today's market. A Staub-Kingman combo would have provided more run support for big three, and probably a 90+ win season. Really? December 8, 2006 But this one defied all logic from the beginning. Three bad starts on 8/3 and 8/13 as well as his next to last start on 9/15 is what really bloated his ERA, not that 3.22 even in the '70s was that shabby.Yes, he was far removed from his prime but to say he sucked is pretty short sighted and flies in the face of the fact that he pitched well enough to be a 12-15 game winner, but then this is the same year Seaver pitched Cy Young caliber ball and went only 14-11.
