The New York Mets are going to honor two franchise icons by retiring their jerseys
Mets owner Steve Cohen announced on Thursday the team will retire Dwight Gooden's No. 16 and Darryl Strawberry's No. 18 in separate pregame ceremonies next season.
"I'm thrilled that two iconic members of the 1986 championship club will have their numbers retired in 2024," Cohen said. "Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden each had an enormous impact on our franchise and it's my honor to continue our commitment to celebrating our wonderful history."
These will mark the fourth numbers the Mets have retired since Cohen took over as owner of the franchise in September 2020.
