  • Documentary about Dwight Gooden; The Doc. Doc came up as a 19-year old phenom who within a year became the best pitcher in baseball. Unfortunately, he had his demons and his career would derail for periods of time as his effectiveness slowly disappeared. This is his story.

    Dwight, you may never read this. But as a kid growing up watching you play was magical.
    Even though mistakes were made, it doesn’t devalue what you accomplished. I love you doc.

      In 1984 and 1985 Dwight Gooden was better than The Franchise Tom Seaver ever was. But Dwight wasn't grounded as Tom was and Dwight lost his way from the sudden success. Plus once Dwight physically matured in his 20's and his body muscled up, he was never quite the same again because he lost the flexibility in his delivery that gave his fastball that premier velocity. Add to this the well-intentioned but detrimental handling of Dwight by pitching coach Mel Stottlemeyer in the latter's attempt to preserve Dwight's arm and career by getting him to throw less pitches and to evolve from a power pitcher to more of a finesse pitcher.

    As a lifelong Giants fan, there were few pitchers I really wanted to see pitch against my giants, but despite the fact that it would probably mean they lose the game, I always wanted to see Gooden at candlestick, and never was lucky enough to. He was magical.

    My favorite player until he broke my heart with drugs. That was a sobering, iconoclastic experience. Dwight could’ve been the greatest pitcher that ever played the game if he had stayed the course. It just sucks. No other way to say it.

    I was at the parade and do recall the murmurs amongst the fans about Doc not being there. But what a few years we had back then. In my view 85 was the most exciting year of them all even though we got bumped out by the Cardinals. Of course the 86 post season was as intense as it gets!

    The documentary gives the impression that drug use was the only reason Gooden did not have the career he seemed to be destined for. Injuries and overwork at a young age were just as important.

    • @jimlaregina
      @jimlaregina Рік тому +3

      I was about to say the same. The Mets overworked Doc Gooden , as this UA-cam video ua-cam.com/video/Z1-vTxAUQTk/v-deo.html documents. Sure, no one should party to excess, but, then, Mickey Mantle hit the ball in the middle out of the park over 500 times.

    Doc had a self esteem issue, the lack of self confidence is most likely what drove him to continue to use cocaine. I've heard that the drug gives you self confidence. He needed a therapist, that could've probably helped him kick the habit while he was still in his prime.
