WAR PER SEASON
Raised in Queens, drafted by the Mets, missed the magical 1969 season when he spent the year in the minors. Jorgensen won a Gold Glove for the Expos, survived a scary beaning, and was a good enough ballplayer that he spent 17 years in the majors, many of them as a specialist or platoon player.
