Mark your calendars for April 14th as the Mets will be retiring Dwight “Dr. K” Gooden’s number 16. Back in the 80’s, Gooden took the Mets by storm with his blazing pitching and tenacity for the game. Well deserved. Congratulations Doc.
Here’s an inspirational quote from Doc himself: “You got the ball in your hands and you’re in command, and if you get your good pitch where you wants it, nobody’s gonna hit you.”
Until then, see you at the park!
