Several weeks ago, former New York Mets pitcher Dillon Gee announced his retirement from baseball. He hadn’t pitched for the Mets in a few years but hung around on major league rosters since leaving New York after 2015.
Gee’s New York career included a 40-37 record and a 4.03 ERA. He was everything you would want from a fourth or fifth starter, never quite staying healthy or productive enough to be more than that.
When I learned of Gee’s retirement, one interesting thing I came across was his unique complete game history. Three of his 110 starts ended with a “CG” on the stat sheet for Gee.
