Yes they were. Also as a Yankees fan I had to wait from 1964 to 1976 for their next WS appearance after facing Gibson.
But I always loved watching a great pitcher.
Sorry Gugny, but I couldn't wait to watch the Dodgers against the Mets in Shea with Koufax and Drysdale when the Yanks were on the road..
But you might want to know I still have my Seaver and Koosman rookie cards that never saw the bicycle spokes.
