Born in Wewoka, Oklahoma, Goss threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall and weighed 204 pounds (93 kg). He spent nine years in minor league baseball, hitting 172 home runs, before making his first Major League team, the 1962 Pirates. He was mostly a late-inning replacement that season for regular leftfielder Bob Skinner, a left-handed batter, although Goss did start 15 games in right field, normally the domain of Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente. He showed some power potential with a .351 slugging average playing in cavernous Forbes Field.
In the closing days of spring training in 1963, Goss was traded to the Colt .45s for a then-unknown 25-year-old outfielder, Manny Mota. While Goss would be Houston's regular 1963 centerfielder, he batted only .209 in 411 at bats and finished his professional career in the minor leagues in 1964. Mota went on to play 19 more seasons in the National League, and became particularly well known for his pinch hitting, at one time holding the Major League record for pinch hits.
