Wow, the Post calls the Mets “dopey” in a headline ! That’s something I’d do.
Someone thought it would be a nice idea if one of the greatest pitchers in franchise history signed a blank gray wall next to the bar. Gooden obliged, taking a black Sharpie and writing in script “Doc Gooden 84 R.O.Y., 85 Cy Young, 86 W.S. Champs.”
Gooden took a picture next to the signature, and so did countless fans lucky enough to afford the price of a ticket that allows them access to the club.
But now the Mets, who have been criticized for not showcasing enough of their history in their new ballpark, plan to erase Gooden’s signature from the wall, treating it as if it were unwanted graffiti.
“It’s a brand-new building,” said Jay Horwitz, the Mets’ VP of media relations. “No one is supposed to write on the wall. It’s going to be erased.”

Love the new blog! They’re right, this is as stupid as it gets. They should put a piece of glass over it top protect it and everytime some old Met shows up, (if the Mets would ever invite an old Met) have him sign in the same spot. I wonder if they would cover it if it was Jackie Robinsons autograph?
