With Cy win, deGrom joins elite Mets club

There were two other right-handers for the Mets who were the kind of pitching stars that Jacob deGrom was for New York this season. There was Tom Seaver, the greatest figure in the history of the Mets’ franchise. And there was young Dwight Gooden, who could throw fastballs past the world and turn every start into a must-see event — fans were afraid to miss 20 strikeouts in a game or a no-hitter.
