Mets to Retire Jerry Koosman’s 36
The Mets announced on Tuesday they will retire Jerry Koosman’s 36.
“Jerry is one of the most iconic Mets of all-time and this forever honor is a tremendous representation of what he meant to the organization,” Jeff Wilpon said, according to Metsblog.com.
In a statement, Koosman said:
“The excitement of playing for the Mets when we won the 1969 World Series was an experience I never thought I’d be able to repeat. But the news that the Mets Hall of Fame Committee has voted to retire my number is another life-changing thrill and honor.
