Sort of the same way that the Islanders retired BObby Nystrom's number 23. And I know that Koosman won a lot of big games for the Mets, but every time I convince myself one way or the other I talk myself out of it. Just can't seem to make up my mind. As for Hernandez & Piazza, those will eventually come. It is anyone's guess for Hernandez, but they will wait until after the afternoon in upstate NY before they put 31 up on the wall at $iti Field.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('48609','Paul'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('48609','Paul','I can see where you would want Eddie \"The Krane\'s\" number hung on the fence.

I guess we are close in age (50). But it blows my mind that the Mets never even gave him a special day or even a decent send off. This is the only home grown guy that ever played his entire career with the Mets. They really blew it bigtime. I have posted these thoughts on the fan forum over at Mets.com and basically have been laughed at. They fail to realize that this guy was brought up as a teenager (they definately screwed up his career by doing that)Never gave them an ounce of trouble and actually wound up being a decent hitter/great pinch hitter. The consumate original Met. Count me in if you ever want to start a Kranepool Day. He deserves it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('48467','Joe'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('48467','Joe','Dear Kranepool,\r\n\r\nIt is amazing no one else feels the same or barely remembers Ed Kranepool.
