In advance of the 2016 inaugural season of the Major League Baseball League, and in conjunction with the 30 year anniversary of the greatest Mets team, arguably the greatest professional sports team ever, the 1986 World Champion New York Mets...
The Mets announce the retirement of the following jersey numbers, which will be honored in the right field section of Citi Field...
#8- Catcher - Gary "the kid" Carter
#16 - Pitcher - Dwight "Doc K" Golden
#17 - First Basemen - Keith Hernandez
#4 - Outfielder - Lenny "Nails" Dykstra
#1 - Outfielder - Mookie Wilson
#20 - Third Basemen - Howard Johnson
#47 - Pitcher - Jesse Orosco
#12 - Pitcher - Ron Darling
Manager - Davey Johnson
And last, but certainly not least... The Straw the Stirred the drink... Both literally and figuratively...
#18 - Outfielder - Daryl Strawberry
Please join the entire Mets organization as we recognize, celebrate and honor these all time greats, and thank them one more time for the world championship they brought back to New York City.
The next generation of all time greats that we see on the field today... From Matt Harvey and David Wright... To Noah Syndergard and Jacob Degrom, or Wilmer Flores and Michael Conforto... They have an AMAZING group of men to look up to and can only hope to match their accomplishment of winning a world title this up coming season...
