During the 1999 season, Valentine had been ejected from a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, but returned to the dugout wearing a fake mustache and sunglasses. It created one of the most memorable moments of Valentine's career.

Valentine was the Mets' manager from 1996 to 2002. He also managed the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox.

Valentine will be back at Citi Field on Saturday as he is inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame alongside his former teammate, Lee Mazzilli.
