After Dwight Gooden signed a wall in the Ebbets Club when he attended the April 13th opener at Citi Field, there was speculation that some janitor was going to come along with a Magic Eraser and remove the autograph which read,
Doc Gooden
84 R.O.Y.
85 Cy Young
86 W.S. Champs
They plan to move the graffiti to an undisclosed location somewhere in the building, and put it behind Plexiglas. In fact, they now plan to encourage other former Mets stars like Darryl Strawberry and Keith Hernandez to follow Gooden’s lead. Way to be a trend-setter, Doc.

Magic Erasers are amazing. I once accidentally sharpied my roommate's brand new kitchen table and she'll never know, thanks to Mr.Clean.
If I were Dwight GOoden, I would be highly offended. Sure, he probably should've asked permission before scribbling on a wall, but he's Doc. Seriously? He was a HUGE part of the Mets' success in the early 80s. If it were Keith Hernandez, would the team have been as pissed? Probably not.
Keith Hernandez also signed a wall, but it was while he and Doc were sharing a bathroom stall enjoying some bugger sugar?
Let's not forget that a Citi Field employee ASKED him to write on the wall.
I'm writing this incident off (and the one where Citi Field employees kicked out a St. John's employee at a St John's/G'town game for wearing a Phillies jacket) as leftover bitterness from a second consecutive September collapse.
