Former Mets All-Star and Cy Young Award winner Dwight Gooden will be at the Deer Park Fire Department's firehouse (located at 94 Lake Avenue) on Sunday to sign autographs as part of a collectibles show.
The event, which is also a firehouse fundraiser, begins at 10 a.m. and runs through 4 p.m.
Gooden will sign autographs from noon to 2 p.m. All autographs cost $25, though inscriptions cost an additional $15.
