Darryl Strawberry, a month after heart attack, surprises Dwight Gooden at Mets number retirement ceremony
NY Post
Dwight Gooden got a happy surprise on Sunday, as Darryl Strawberry made it to Gooden’s number retirement ceremony at Citi Field after suffering a heart attack in March.
“I didn’t know until I saw him today,’’ Gooden said of when he found out his former teammate would be in attendance.
It was obviously fitting the two former Mets stars would both be in Queens for Gooden’s No. 16 being retired, as Strawberry, who flew in from his home in St. Louis, will receive the same honor on June 1 with his No. 18.
No duo is more associated with the Mets’ last World Series title in 1986 than the pair of homegrown players that exploded onto the scene four decades ago.
Gooden said that they remain in touch and are aware of how tied together they are among the fan base.
“It’s good to see Darryl,” Gooden said. “It will always be Darryl and Doc, Doc and Darryl. We’ll always be connected.”
