Doc should have brain stormed a little bit more about what he was going to say he had his own fans booing him mentioning what he did for the Yankees before he finally says I always wanted to be a Met. But despite all that and his problems he's still a Mets legend.... STRAWBERRY IS NEXT
Nah - In person it was good! The crowd was laughing and booing at the same time when he mentioned the Yanks. His point in mentioning why he went to the yankees was that the Wilpons were assholes and wouldn't let him finish out as a Met like he wished he could. Crowd was totally into it the whole speech - thunderous applause every time he was on the screen throughout the day.
Captivating, Dominating, Astonishing... as a teenager, the anticipation of Doc pitching made your heart race the entire ride to the stadium.... and with every pitch...
Good job for sharing and for the 32k+ that showed up. When he pitched in the 80's, everyone was watching. Those were special days. Madoff was a d-bag, but at least he took down the Wilpon's.
Long overdue. I still look back and say to myself "how much greater he could have been?" Sadly we'll never know. Regardless I'm grateful the Mets retired his number. Thanks Doc for the memories,
@@mook9708 I've been a Met fan for over 35 years. You can miss me with all of that. Doc is the second greatest Met after Seaver. His number should've retired 10-15 years ago. F***ing clown.
@@mook9708Doc is the second best Met all time after Seaver. This team hasn't won anything in 38 years. Nobody who roots for this franchise is a casual Dummy.
Dwight we know would've been a hall of famer had he not got caught up in drug culture that bearly destroyed him but he simply had success on rummer when he was at his best.
194 career wins (153 with the mets). Career 3.51 ERA. I'm a mets fan but those numbers don't justify his number being retired. Koosman's numbers were much better.
