Basically a contact, line-drive hitter, Gosger was a fine reserve outfielder with a strong throwing arm, appearing in 555 games at center field (291), left (216) and right (83), and eventually as a first baseman (25).
Gosger broke into the majors in 1963 with the Boston Red Sox, playing for them two and a half years before joining the Kansas City/Oakland Athletics (1966–68), Seattle Pilots (1969), New York Mets (1969), Montreal Expos (1970–71), and again with the Mets (1973–74). His most productive season came in 1967 with Kansas City, when he posted career-highs in games (134), home runs (7) and hits (86), while hitting .242 with 36 RBI.
