For fans of a certain age, the 1986 Mets and their thrilling victory over the Red Sox in the World Series that year, occupy a special place in New York sports history.

The team hasn't been able to reach those heights since, but the players from that legendary team remain towering figures. And now, two of those players will have their numbers retired with ceremonies at Citi Field. Slugger Darryl Strawberry gets his big day later this season. And pitcher Dwight 'Doc' Gooden's number 16 will retired in a special pre-game event scheduled for April 14.

Nick Davis directed a documentary about the 1986 Mets called, 'Once Upon a Time in Queens.' Speaking with Weekend Edition host David Furst, he reflects on the honor and remembers Gooden in his prime.
