IGT, 2024-04-14 KCR@NYM, Goodbye, Sixteen, Goodbye

The Mets celebrate their remarkable righthander from the eighties and then take the field with one more two-digit number forever remaining respectfully unavailable to them. The team that had the greatest pitcher on the planet in 1985 goes against the unlikely 1985 MLB champs.

Lefthanded podcaster Cole Ragans goes for the Royals as the Mets call back José Butto to do the Gooden's work for the Mets.

Pause a silent moment as well out of respect for the good honor brought to the number 16 by the likes of Lee Mazzilli, Felix Millan, Angel Pagán, Paul Lo Duca, Hideo Nomo, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Danny Napoleon, and many others.

Butto and Hartwig are up, Sulser and Jay have been optioned. The Citi Field PA is pumping out hits of the ’80s to set the mood for the man who gave up so few of them back then.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Edgy, your keyboard put Alvarez in center field again.
Hasn't it seen his improved defense behind the plate?

The ceremony ended with some sweeping rain that kind of capped the ceremony.

Tore apart Gooden's umbrella.
