The names of Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry will live on in Mets history as the recipients for the ceremonial first pitch on Wednesday night.
As the two superstars who helped the Mets win their second championship 38 years ago—their most recent one—the club solidified their legacy forever by retiring both of their numbers last year. Unless this club has something to say about it, that is.
However, Strawberry notices a significant resemblance between the two squads: they are constantly involved.
I think it’s great that these guys genuinely believe in themselves. To get here, they had to make a late run at the conclusion of the season, and [Francisco] Lindor has produced some huge hits for them in pivotal moments.
