I want to personally thank the @Mets organization for this wonderful honor. My #16 Jersey will be retired this Sunday at Citi Field in front of this amazing fan base who have always been like family! I am truly grateful and can’t wait to celebrate everyone.
@DocGooden16 @Mets My first #Mets jersey was #16 when I was 7-years old in 1986. I would put on a blue long-sleeve shirt underneath Doc’s jersey and emulate his pitching motion pretending I just struck out Vince Coleman, Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee.
@DocGooden16 @Mets Growing up, there was nothing like a Gooden start. Made sure I was always able to watch because you always expected something special. Well-deserved honor.
@DocGooden16 @Mets Can’t wait! Scalped the best seats I ever have gotten on vivid seats ! 6th row behind the plate. No price too high to see the Doctor! Congrats, Dwight and thank you @StevenACohen2 for recognizing how much we love this man!
@DocGooden16 @Mets Congratulations Doc!
@DocGooden16 @Mets Your 1985 season was the greatest performance I've witnessed in my 45 years of being a baseball fan. Not many athletes can achieve being bigger than NYC -- you were that year.
