NEW YORK — Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry will be inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame this summer, highlighting a class that features four key members of the 1986 World Series champions.
Popular manager Davey Johnson and general manager Frank Cashen also will be inducted Aug. 1 before the Mets host the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citi Field.
They are the first new members of the team’s Hall of Fame since Tommie Agee was chosen in 2002.
Gooden’s dominant pitching and Strawberry’s power hitting helped lead the Mets to their second World Series title in 1986, and another NL East crown in ’88.
Johnson managed the Mets from 1984-90 and compiled the best winning percentage (.588) of any manager in franchise history.
