A brutally honest memoir of ability, addiction, and restoration in one of the greatest baseball pitchers ever. As a timid 19-year-old, Dwight Gooden swept into New York, lifting a team of crazy people to World Series greatness and providing a beleaguered city a reason to believe. Then he threw it all away. Now, with fresh and sober sight, the Mets' dearest Dr. K shares the intimate information on his life and profession, exposing all the astonishing highs and lows: The hidden traumas in his close-knit Tampa family. The excitement and pressure to be a young football phenom in New York. The raucous days and evenings with the Mets' bad boys (and the true reason he overlooked the 1986 World Series win parade). The self-destructive medicine binges and the three World Series rings. His heartbreaking makes an attempt at getting sober, the senseless damage to family and friends, and the unforeseen way he finally saved his life - on VH1's Super star Rehab with Dr. Drew. In Doc, Gooden details his close friendships with a lot of baseball's greats: Pete Rose, George Steinbrenner, Joe Torre, and nephew Gary Sheffield. For the first time ever, he discloses the full tale of his stressed romantic relationship with fellow Mets superstar Darryl Strawberry. And he explains to the moving tale of the Yankees no-hitter he pitched for his dying dad. Doc is a riveting football memoir by one of the game's most interesting information and an inspiring tale for anyone who have faced tough challenges in life.
