Gooden’s 1985 season is still to this day the best season I’ve ever seen by a pitcher. 24-4 with 16 complete games, 8 shutouts and an ERA of 1.53. Every time he went out to pitch you thought he was going to get a no hitter. Absolutely dominant!!

The Gooden / Strawberry years were so much fun. Most of those years, I either watched or listened to at least 150+ games/season.

2nd that. Met him backstage at the ESPYS the year the Yanks won ‘97. Took a pic with him.

I was in elementary school at the time. Just started collecting baseball cards because my buddy showed me Doc's 1985 Topps rookie card and said it was worth $4 at the time. Was very fortunate that our Cable Company at the time in Long Beach CA had WOR New York which showed Mets games. Was able to follow the Mets with Gooden and Strawberry through their World Series run.

Technically, the headline should read "Doc Gooden's Most Dominant Performances... as a Met," since he did pitch a no-hitter for that other NY team.

@ousamaabdu794 Жыл бұрын

Dwight Godden had a fastball clocked at 100 mph in 1990.. The old JUGS guns clocked the ball as it crossed the plate, while the newer guns clock the ball coming out of the arm. 100 back then is like 104 now. The guys aren't throwing that much faster these days.

Doc pitched with the old speed Gun today's pitchers are a joke pitching with a faster jug Gun,and the balls are wound today to go faster..Doc won 157 wins for the Mets.His hee pitched 10 innings many times.todays others are a joke Dwight Gooden was the most Dominant pitcher of his time.

Dutch Rennert was the best MLB umpire ever! He was a freakazoid. He was so theatrical! He was the home plat up when I went to Shea to watch Game 4 of 1988 NLCS. I was sitting far away in the left field upper deck and we could hear Rennert calling the strikes. In the Naked Gun film Leslie Nielson hilariously parodied Rennert as ump.

I disagree. The Mets overworked Doc Gooden, so much so that he was injured when only 26 years old, an age when most pitchers are still approaching their best days (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJddqbeppru1hJ8.html). As for the partying, well, nobody looks back and thinks, "I did not get fucked up enough." But Mickey Mantle hit the ball in the middle out of the park more than 500 times, so substance abuse does not necessarily short-circuit a baseball career.
