Hey Mets, really…here’s what you need to do. Anytime you hear any criticism or controversy, go to Google. Type “Mets” into the search engine. Select blogs. Whatever is being said there (and I don’t necessarily mean here) do that. Again…you read this wrong.
One of the guys that worked there asked me to sign one of the walls, so I did it. It wasn’t like I was walking around with a sharpie in my pocket,” Gooden told the Daily News on Monday. “They asked me to sign the wall as a favor, as something for the fans to see. I was in there watching batting practice and they had fans taking pictures with me by my signature and I thought it was a fun idea.
“I definitely didn’t think it was going to turn out to be this big deal. I didn’t do anything intentionally for the Mets to get upset. I was just doing it for the fans. I don’t see what the big fuss is. Honestly, I don’t.”
About a Mets museum…
“I think it’s great that they’re talking about it doing now, but I would’ve thought it would’ve been there already.
“You’d think they’d want to connect to the ’86 team as much as they can, and the ’69 team, because those are the only times that they won (the World Series). Most stadiums you go to, even if they’ve never won anything, they have that.
“So I would think you would have something in there to show the fans that you appreciate that history, and to show the former players, as well . . . I think the former players expect that. I think the fans want that. They want to share it with their kids. I know I want to share it with my kids, too.”
Doc, next time wear a Dodgers hat.

Oh brother, I know if I saw Doc Gooden signing a wall I’d think it was a good idea to sign my name right next to it. The Wilpons don’t get it and I’ve been saying it for years. The homage to the Dodgers alone is enough to get any Met fan riled up and now this.
Doc, you were lights out for a few years…unhittable. It a shame that addiction had such a strong hold on you and we all know those demons are tough to beat. Maybe the Wilpons don’t understand that and I think that’s the real reason they want the autograph down.
I hope you come back again but don’t blame you if you don’t.
