The New York Mets retired Dwight 'Doc' Gooden's No. 16 jersey at Citi Field on April 14, 2024.

Gooden, a former Mets pitcher from 1984-1994, later joined the New York Yankees in 1996.

The retirement ceremony paid homage to Gooden's career and included a tribute to fellow Mets legend Darryl Strawberry.

Gooden addressed his past substance abuse issues and ongoing recovery efforts, expressing gratitude towards fans.

The event featured notable attendees such as rapper Chuck D and Gooden's nephew, Gary Sheffield.

Gooden, now sober, actively educates others about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

His jersey retirement marks the sixth in Mets history, preceding the retirement of Strawberry's No. 18 in June.
