Brian Joura Mets360: It’s past time for the Mets and their fans to have good things. Brian lists all the things that went wrong last year from Jacob deGrom's injury to under production of Jeff McNeil, Francisco Lindor, etc. and asks "After everything that went wrong last year, what if the gods decided to smile on the Mets this year? What if each of the main guys on the team not only stayed healthy but they matched their career-high in fWAR. What would that team look like?" (Subscription required)

2001

Choosing to end his career as a member of a World Champion team, 36 year-old Dwight Gooden announces his retirement from baseball. 'Doc,' who compiles a 194-112 record in 16 seasons playing for the Mets, Yankees, Indians, Astros, and Devil Rays, will remain on the Bronx Bombers' payroll and will have a position within the organization.

2003

Major League baseball returns to Brooklyn for a day when the Mets appear at KeySpan Park, the Coney Island home of the short-season single-A Cyclones, for the team's final preseason workout. Although the practice session is rained out, fans enjoy meeting the players and collecting autographs, with the profits made from beverage and other sales being donated to charities in the NYC area serving children.

Baseball Reference:

2000 - At the Tokyo Dome, the New York Mets defeat the Chicago Cubs in 11 innings, 5 - 1, on Benny Agbayani's pinch-hit grand slam. Rey Ordóñez commits an error in the game, ending his major league record streak of 101 consecutive errorless games at shortstop. With a swipe of second base, Rickey Henderson joins Ted Williams as the only major league players to steal a base in four different decades.

2001 - The New York Mets' #3 prospect, Brian Cole, aged 22, is killed when the SUV he is driving home to Mississippi from spring training flips over. Cole, who stole 69 bases the previous year, was voted the organization's player of the year in 2000.
