By all accounts, Dwight Gooden should not have been on the field the night of May 14th, 1996.
In fact, if you had to take a guess as to his whereabouts on that chilly May evening, based purely off of the trajectory of his life up until that day, it’s fair to say that the Yankee Stadium pitcher’s mound is the very last place you’d expect him to be.
At 31 years old, Gooden had already experienced triumphs the likes of which most people could only dream of, and the kind of hardships most of us pray we never have to face.
From a blistering rise to the top, that made him one of the best young aces the sport had ever seen, to a stunning fall from grace that rendered him mere inches from death, this is the story of how Doc Gooden defied the odds to deliver one of the most improbable pitching performances of all-time.

As a Miami Marlins fan since 1993, I feel the same about Jose Fernandez. And maybe these things are similar, and maybe their not because Jose killed people (there's so much more to the story unfortunately). But still..watching Jose play, going to 2 opening days that he dominated, it was a treat. I imagine it was the same for Doc.

@@travisramirez7143 kind of but in the begging doc was truly like no one else. Jose was great and the difference between them I believe is the Jose didn’t hit his peak yet, if he had he may have been comparable. Jose was amazing and I think he would have continued to improve no doubt but Doc was just insane from the jump and then he fell off from drugs and other things. So they may have been similar talent wise but sadly Jose’s passing just makes it harder to compare but don’t get me wrong Jose’s strikeout numbers were Elite. I don’t know much about is passing I know there was controversy but no matter what that was a huge loss for baseball and the world in general as he was an inspiration to young Cuban players and young fans and he will be missed. (Btw I know this is an old comment just needed to say that. It makes me sad when I think about the downfall of such a young protege he may have had his problems but nobody deserves to die, would have loved to see him grow has a person and player. rest easy Jose 🙏 )

Doc is my all time favorite player. His 1.53 ERA in 1985 is still the lowest for a qualifying pitcher since Bob Gibsons 1.12 in 1968. Despite his off the field issues, he still managed to win almost 200 games. He is 2nd only to Tom Seaver in wins by a Met.

I even named my son Carter, naming him after Gary Carter. We had plans to go and meet him at Cooperstown but unfortunately he got very sick and passed away. I went to countless games at Shea stadium. So many memories in that stadium. I went to the last opening day and the last game ever at Shea. Also the first game at Citi field but nothing compares to showing up early and watching BP and getting autographs. I met so many players, Ricky Henderson, Rey Ordoñez (my favorite player of all time), David Wright, Mike Piazza, Andreas Gallaraga, and many more. The last time the Mets won the 'ship I was literally in the womb. But this year 2022 I think we are the best team in baseball and have what it takes to win the World Series.🙏🏼 🟧🟦⚾⚾LET'S GO METS!! ⚾⚾🟠🔵

It was always exciting to watch him pitch and just basically play catch with Gary Carter. With all his off the field bullsh!t, I still say thanks for the good memories Doc. He’s the only reason I pitched in little league (played center the rest of the time) and emulated him with a decent amount of success. I learned to throw a curve and had a decent fastball at 10-12 yes old. Good times.

As a Yankee fan watching this gives me chills, because I remember when he got that no hitter so vividly. Was such a great moment. Absolutely love Dwight gooden. Sure he's got his flaws but he's human. He was so much fun to watch that curveball was so devastating which is what would set up that furious fastball. He was one hell of a hitter too actually. It's a damn shame as nephew Gary Sheffield isn't in the Hall of Fame. Doc may not be a Hall of famer, but he can certainly hang with them.

Got doc’s autograph when he was with Cleveland in 1999. At Yankee Stadium. He was one of two players (CLE backup catcher Einar Diaz) who poked their heads out of the dugout to sign a few autographs. I always appreciated that.

Been a Mets fan my whole life kind of randomly (I have no connection to NY or any players, i'm from Louisiana) and Doc Gooden my childhood favorite pitcher. My earliest baseball memories are of his dominant years. Not ashamed to admit I cried tears of happiness when he pitched that no hitter. Great video!

I rooted hard for Gooden during his time with the Yankees. After starting the year 0-3, he ended up salvaging the season by going 11 - 4 the rest of the way and 9-5 the following season. Dwight flew to New York the day after the no-hitter, giving his father the final-out ball from the night before. Dan Gooden would never leave the hospital, passing away in January. Thank you for posting this video, it brought back a lot of good memories from when I was still a fan of the game. 🙂

I was at this game and it was a wonderful accident. I had tix for the Yanks home opener and there was a snowstorm that April in NYC. I was only 15 yrs old and reckless at the time, so I stayed for the whole game in the freezing snow. Yanks decided to give free tix to whoever was left at the end (maybe 1000 of us) & we got to pick one of 3 future games. So I picked a random Tuesday night game and it happened to be May 14, 1996...the Doc No-Hitter. Best game I have ever been to!

Unfortunately the good times didn't last. Since his retirement he has been arrested on several occasions for possession and driving while intoxicated (on alcohlol and coke, once with a kid in the car), as recently as 2019. He served time in prison in 2015 or 2016 for probation violation. As a recovering addict myself i wish dude the best and hopefully that most recent arrest will be his last.

I remember not watching that no hitter out fear I may jinx it. Doc Gooden is one of the all time greats and nobody will ever be able to convince me otherwise.

Just need to say, as a teenage fan of Gooden in the ‘80’s mesmerized by his performances and results; then seeing his many challenges after, watching this deep cut resonated more than I would have expected. Thank you for putting this together and sharing. More than any other pitcher, for some reason I’ve rooted for Doc over any other for 40 years. Preternatural grace and quiet confidence, but with nasty stuff, almost seems contradictory. Appreciate your video, much respect.

10,000 pitches by the age of 21. You can talk all you want about the sunstance abuse but that is by far the biggest contributing factor to any decline for Doc. Still: 194 wins, 52.9 bWAR, 2 WS, 1 Cy Young ( a triple crown one ), 1 no hitter and he retired at 35, what an amazing career.
@maniacmasturbator2411
@maniacmasturbator2411 2 года назад
The Mets also tinkered with his pitching mechanics and Doc said he never got the same movement on his fastball after his first couple years. I always figured it was a mixture of that, shoulder injuries and substance abuse that contributed to his decline. He had a serious drug problem, but look at the many many pitchers without drug/alcohol issues that just weren’t able to maintain because of wear-and-tear on their arms/shoulders.
