Follow usFormer Mets "Dark Knight" called it a day on Friday
Matt Harvey announced on Friday he’s retiring from baseball after a nine-year pitching career.
Harvey thanked fans for making “a dream come true” in his Instagram post announcing his retirement.
He was given the nickname the “Dark Knight of Gotham,” after being selected seventh overall by the Mets in the 2010 amateur draft and made league debut in 2012. He started the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field, but a little more than a month later tore UCL in his pitching elbow and needed surgery after which his career was never the same.
“I pitched to win,” Harvey wrote in his post. “To fire up my team and more importantly, to fire up the fans in a city that I’ve always loved.”
