It's a travesty!

It was long overdue, but the New York Mets are honoring two of their
greatest players ever during the upcoming season.
Pitcher Dwight Gooden (number 16) and outfielder Darryl Strawberry
(number 18) will have their numbers retired in two separate ceremonies
at Citi Field. The announcement of the jersey retirements was made on
August 24, 2023, but the Mets officially released the dates on Wednesday.
Gooden's ceremony will take place on Sunday, April 14 against the Kansas
City Royals in the last game of a three-game set; Strawberry's ceremony
is scheduled for Saturday, June 1, the third game of a four-game series
versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.
