Really good pitcher with some really odd ideas about physiology. Was both ahead of his time and probably a little crackers in that regard. Terrific 1970s sleazy cop show facial hair.

One of two pitchers who played for the Mets who were real Doctors. (Not counting Gooden or Ellis here) His was a PhD, Ron Taylor was an MD. RIP Later

Doc Medich from the ass end of 1977 will see you now.

Doc Medich got hisself in some hot water for writing false prescriptions after he became addicted to painkillers. I'm sure we have some more PhDs in Mets history. And quite a few JDs (Lynch, Clendennon ...) as well.

Was one of three Cy Young award winning Mets teammates on the '81 squad: Marshall ('74), Randy Jones ('76) and future Cy Young award winner Mike Scott ('86).
