Dwight Eugene 'Doc' Gooden is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played primarily for the New York Mets and is renowned for his exceptional talent and tumultuous career. A three-time All-Star and the 1985 National League Cy Young Award winner, Gooden had a meteoric rise in the MLB, showcasing his extraordinary pitching skills, including a fastball that could reach 100 mph. However, his career was marred by struggles with substance abuse, leading to multiple suspensions and legal issues.
