Thrilled to share important milestone news. Our son Matthew got engaged yesterday to his long time girlfriend, Natalie Turner, and also earlier this week earned his master’s degree (4.0) in civil engineering from NYU. Big week for Matt and the entire family! Very proud!

First triple double at RU in 41 years since Roy Hinson scored 24 points, had 10 rebounds and 10 blocks in 1983.

So sorry to learn of the passing of Ed Kranepool, the longest serving original @mets. A great human being, as well. And a Mets all-star, hall of famer, and incredible pinch hitter. He will be missed. @SNY_Mets @SNYtv

7/10/1984 At 19 years old, Doc Gooden becomes the youngest player to appear in an All-Star Game. Gooden strikes out Lance Parrish, Chet Lemon, and Alvin Davis in two scoreless innings at Candlestick Park.

A statement from Steve & Alex Cohen on the passing of Willie Mays:

"Willie Mays was one of the greatest to ever play the game. Willie ended his Hall of Fame career in Queens and was a key piece to the 1973 NL championship team. Mays played with a style and grace like no one else. Alex and I were thrilled to honor a previous promise from Joan Payson to retire his iconic #24 as a member of the Mets in 2022. On behalf of our entire organization, we send our thoughts and prayers to Willie’s family and friends."

A big congrats to our friend @DocGooden16 upon the @Mets retiring his number! Well deserved Dr. K. #16forever. And thanks @NjTank99. LGM!
