Not saying they were wrong, but this is clearly a situation where the rough feelings could probably be easily smooted over by reaching out to him. I can’t imagine them not inviting him, and hopefully he accepts. Clearly he would have been there in 2006 if he were not in jail.

Baby Bernie should get over it and realize they kept him around 2 years too long as it was.

Just like Leiter, who is still mad the Mets did not give him a 2-year deal, only to see him go to Florida, get bombed and released, and finish with the Yankees as a situational lefty. Does he really look in the mirror and still think the Mets should have given him a TWO year deal???!!!!

Guys not in the Mets HOF: Gooden, Strawberry, Orosco, HoJo, Darling, Cone, Franco, Alfonzo, Piazza, Leiter, Davey Johnson….total joke.

I really hope they revive it, update it, and proudly display its members someplace besides the High-School trophy case sitting in the current Diamond Club now….

Or do you want to just read NY Post headlines and focus on the 6% of tickets priced above $200?

Honestly sounds like the Mets have done a nice job on pricing and CitiField will be a realtively affordable experience, unlike that joke in the Bronx with the Hard Rock Cafe and $2,500 seats to watch Darrell Rasner pitch against Kansas City.

Seaver’s number was retired in 1988, the year after he formally retired. He went into the HOF in 1992. Since only one player has been retired, that’s your only precedent.

Are you implying that if the HOF decides Piazza should go in wearing a Dodger hat, that would make the Mets decide against retiring his number?

I know the “hat” debate can be fun – but it’s really stupid. Every player in the Hall belongs to all of the teams he played for, not just the one on the hat. To say someone “went in as ___” is pretty silly IMO.
