The Apple, your source for fake Mets news is reporting that Dwight Gooden is starting Sunday.
I wonder if Pagan will give up the #16…and if the choice were Gooden or Ollie I’d take the 45 year old.
Speaking of Gooden, before the week gets way from me – this was a good article in the WSJ about Doc. I didn’t realize they had signed him to a 1 day’er.
He is 45 now, and he will be at Citi Field on Saturday. The Mets this year are inducting Mr. Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, former manager Davey Johnson and former general manager Frank Cashen into their Hall of Fame, and they are holding a luncheon for the inductees Saturday before a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. More, because Mr. Gooden ended his playing career with the Yankees in 2000—he went 194-112 in pitching for five teams over his 16-year career—he agreed to sign a one-day contract with the Mets this week so that he could again retire, this time as a member of the team with which he is most identified.
“To me,” he said in a phone interview, “this brings it full circle.”
