Mets will retire Keith Hernandez' number this year
Quote:
NEW YORK -- Beloved by millions for his contributions to a championship, his memorable left-handed swing, his defensive prowess and his decades-long career as a broadcaster, Keith Hernandez is about to receive the most exclusive honor the Mets can bestow. The team announced Tuesday that it plans to retire Hernandez’s No. 17 during a July 9 ceremony at Citi Field.
“I’m thrilled,” Hernandez said in a statement. “This is truly a special honor that lasts beyond a lifetime.”

Good! That leaves Gary Carter as an obvious one from long ago, which they also could have done while he was still alive.......
