I was so happy to be there on that day. I didn’t record bc I didn’t have my new phone, however, this was an historical day at Citi field! Thanks for sharing!
That was my friend and I up in section 42 of the upper deck keeping track of Doc's strikeouts in THE K KORNER, and I want to sincerely thank the fans for their enthusiasm and support in 1984-86.
@@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.
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.
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...
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,
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.
Thanks for sharing. We all know Doc was special and despite the substance abuse he still had a hell of career!!!
Thanks for the memories Doctor K. Well deserved.
Congrats Doc. Couldn't wait every 5th day to see you pitch. It's about time they did this.

Thank you so much! Dwight is the reason I became a Mets fan. I was a little kid in Charlotte NC, and will be a Mets fan till I die.
Thanks for sharing! I wish i could’ve been there but you made it feel like i was. Great job! And congrats to the Doc!! 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm a Tiger fan, but thank you. Gooden had problems, but he's a legend.
Coming from a Cardinals fan as a 13 year old in 1985 that was the best season I’ve ever seen a pitcher have.
nice job..thank you for posting!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm a transplanted Met fan living in western MA and never get to see the Mets anymore.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Doc's number should have been retired before Piazza, Hernandez and Carter. Doc started with the Mets. The other guys were superstars from other teams.
They did it right,,casual

Thanks for sharing. Completely awesome stuff
No problem 👍
Cool
Papa he is my favorite papa

When they pointed the camera to the retired numbers and got to #17, for a moment I thought they were going to say "Ted Martinez."
Class organization...how long did they make him wait?
Wilpons were assholes... All the proper retirements are coming now that Choen owns them.
He pitched a no hitter with the Yankees. But he won a Cy Young award with the Mets. He won a few WS rings too. So not too bad.
Dr. K also played for the NY Yankees 😊
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.
Happy your mental health and addiction is good you were always a met true mets no that all ready good heath doc 16 the.best
Nice games sir daniel
Dr K ❤❤❤
Yeah papa is the best
When’s Strawberry next?
Soon it's ironic that he has 18 retired by the NY Mets franchise and he was 1 pick in 1980
June 1st
Unbelievable early career, first 3 seasons were beyond incredible and his second season (1985) was perhaps one of the greatest of all time😊
April 1st. I'll be at that game too. I'll try to post the same video :)
