Dwight Gooden was known as one of the league's most talented pitchers, he had a flourishing career. However, his drug-related issues led him into serious trouble, tarnishing his name and significantly affecting his success and fame.
Dwight Gooden was born on November 16, 1964, in Tampa, Florida. He attended Hillsborough High School in Tampa, where he played on the school's baseball team alongside Vance Lovelace. Gooden was drafted in the first round in 1982, as the fifth overall pick. He spent one season in the minor leagues, playing for the Lynchburg Mets in the Class-A Carolina League. Gooden made an uncommon leap from High-A directly to the major leagues in just one year, skipping Double-A and Triple-A. He debuted with the New York Mets on April 7, 1984, at the young age of 19. Gooden made history on July 10, 1984, as the youngest player to appear in an All-Star Game. He struck out the side in his inning, adding to the memorable performance by NL pitcher Fernando Valenzuela.

He has serious addiction. Some people respond that way and some don't. He was one that once he put drugs in his system, it was simply done. Obsessing of the mind and allergy of the body. He's a good guy and had gotten clean. You can see he's humble and has a good heart

U didn't mention how doc missed the 1986 Mets World series victory parade because he was getting high at his dealers house while watching the parade on TV

Definitely nasty, but I'd take prime Pedro.

Ive attended close to 1000 MLB games in my time. Many times sitting directly behind the plate. I will say this....the most frightening , dominating pitchers I ever saw , from that viewpoint , were Nolan Ryan and Doc Gooden. Period. What couldve been with Doc.

I caught in the bullpen through Texas and Arizona…Randy Johnson hurt, not Nolan

Check this out how could you say he lives sad and you don’t know him ‘ we will see you soon sir “

I've read his biography and it's very good. I hope he can overcome his demons.

Thankfully George Stienbrenner set up a retirement plan for him or he would really ve in bad shape - George loved Dwight Gooden - He also recognized Dwight had major issues and it was unlikely change as he got older - Instead of cutting ties with him, George wanted Dwight to be able to have a home to live in - Darryl Strawberry was also part of this -

He was truly un-hitable at his peak. The best I’ve ever seen in my lifetime…..very few had the stuff he had. He and strawberry just couldn’t stay off the shit. What coulda been……..damn it Btw this video was haphazard…… pics don’t match years.

He was lights out but a shame he got addicted to cocaine ⚾️

Sorry not a good guy punching women in the face and assaulting cops. I understand he has a drug addiction, but that doesn’t take away his horrible behavior.
