The 1984 NL Rookie of the Year, Doc Gooden has recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons, as his battle with drugs and alcohol has apparently worsened since ESPN first aired the 30 for 30 special, ‘Doc & Darryl,’ back in July.
For anyone, that watched the documentary–and remembers the 1986 Amazin’ Mets or the 1996 World Series Champion Yankees, it’s clear to see that Gooden is a shell of his former self.
This is not the same man that won the 1985 NL Cy Young Award or went to four All-Star Games or threw a no-hitter in ’96.
