Koosman to be sentenced for tax evasion

Jerry Koosman, who was recently at Citi Field for the 1969 World Series anniversary celebration, will be sentenced this week for evading taxes.

According to WCCO in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Koosman failed to pay taxes from 2002-2004, owing as much as $90,000.

Here’s where it gets strange, according to WCCO…

The 66 year-old Koosman told investigators he researched tax laws and concluded that only federal workers, corporate employees and District of Columbia residents were subject to federal taxes.

I wish that were true, Kooz.  I do.
