Dodgers Hall of Famer Mike Piazza should not have his number retired by the Mets.
Are you going to put a statue of him outside Citi Field?
Are you going to retire 31 without retiring 17?
If you retire those why not 16?
What about Ron Darling (pick a number of his).
While we’re looking at fan favorites how about Buddy’s 3?
A great player yes
Hall of famer yes
An iconic ‘Met?’ No.
(Perhaps he can take Lee Mazzilli’s spot on SNY when Lee takes his rightful place in the Mets dugout as manager.)
