If he had the support system that the organizations and society has now, he would be a hall of famer. In the 80's and even the 90s, we didn't look at drug addiction as a disease it was looked at as something that makes you a loser/low life. One thing that is good for society is now we try to help people with addiction.

@@cgtz9526 I hope the Baseball Committee look pass Doc Gooden bad past and induct him to the Hall of Fame while he is still alive 😔🙏.

If you mean the series at the end of 1985, it was Darling vs. Tudor. Darling pitched nine, Tudor pitched ten, and Strawberry homered in the 11th off Ken Dayley to win it 1-0. Orosco got the victory. The day before, Gooden bested Andujar by a score of 5-2.

@@jimwerther no sir,I am not talking about October 1st 1985 game when strawberry hit it off the clock in St Louis to pull the Mets within two games of the Cardinals.... try September the 11th 1985 at Shea Stadium for one instance ...I did not know I was going to have to be specific as I was basically reminiscing about something that is special to me but some people are just ridiculous..feel free to correct me anytime that you like I live breathlessly waiting for your response

@@peetie3970 I read your response twice, and it is still largely inscrutable. Any reason you don't punctuate?

@@jimwerther I guess my punctuality kept you from reading my initial post about Dwight Gooden correctly causing you to interject something that did not have a damn thing to do with your response

@@peetie3970 Sweetie pie, you're talking out of your a*s, and inventing things that never happened. Stop wasting my time.
