Mets' Retired Numbers

Whenever I watch the Mets, I always find it weird to see Doug Mientkiewicz wearing Doc Gooden's No. 16. I don't think that number should've been retired. But, after all these years, I still associate No. 16 with the pitcher who had such a promising start, but flamed out big-time.

The Mets should retire a few more numbers. Tom Seaver is the only Mets player whose number is painted in the outfield. Gary Carter and Keith Hernandez deserve to have their No. 8 and No. 17 retired. They were leaders and stars on some of the best teams the Mets ever had.
