ICYMI in Mets Land: Two New York baseball icons to have their numbers retired next season

Here's what happened Thursday in Mets Land, in case you missed it...

• The Mets announced that Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry, two franchise legends, will have their jersey numbers retired in separate ceremonies in 2024

• Gooden was a guest on Baseball Night in New York, saying that getting the call from Steve Cohen was a "surreal" experience

• SNY contributor John Harper writes that every Gooden start felt like a must-see event, rather than just a ballgame

• Harper also wrote on Strawberry, saying that the electric outfielder revamped the franchise and made the Mets the hottest ticket in New York

• The Mets Off Day Live crew spoke about the number retirements, Shohei Ohtani, and much more on the latest episode

• Taking a look in the minors, Jeremiah Jackson homered for a third straight game for Binghamton, and Ronny Mauricio went yard for Syracuse
