The Mets held their "New in 2022 at Citi Field" event on Thursday afternoon, and one of the highlights of the tour around the ballpark was the Mets Hall of Fame & Museum, and the new exhibit for the team's 60th anniversary.

Some of the artifacts fans will find when they visit the beautiful Museum are Gil Hodges' jersey from the Mets' inaugural season, Mookie Wilson's cleats from Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, when he got the winning hit to beat the Boston Red Sox, and the pitching rubber from Johan Santana's 2012 no-hitter.

There also are new cases that include drawers to better display two-dimensional materials, such as a Time magazine with Dwight Gooden on the cover, a program from the 1986 National League Championship Series, and a scouting report on Darryl Strawberry.

It is easy to find Mets Hall of Fame & Museum, which is located to the right of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, on the first base side, and as you enter you will be greeted by Mets highlight videos and to the left, plaques of members of the Mets Hall of Fame.
