	Dwight Gooden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A native of Tampa, Florida, Gooden was drafted in the first round in 1982 and made his major-league debut on April 7, 1984 with the New York Mets at the age of 19 and quickly developed a reputation with his 97 MPH fastball and sweeping curveball.
		Gooden retired in 2001 after he was cut by the Yankees in spring training, ending his career with a record of 194-112.
		Gooden was again arrested [2] in 2006 for violating his probation after he admitted to his probation officer that he had used cocaine.

		Gooden had just completed a season of such brilliance and dominance that the bandwagon that was to deliver him to the Hall of Fame five summers after his retirement was already rolling and overcrowded.
		Gooden is on the Hall of Fame ballot this year, and for the first time voters will examine his credentials and measure them against their own definitions of what makes a Hall of Famer.
		Gooden is second to Seaver in Mets victories -- 198 to 157 -- and Mets strikeouts -- 2,541 to 1,875 -- and third to Seaver (2.57) and Jerry Koosman (3.09) in ERA.

	Robert Christgau: Good Clean Fun: Dwight Gooden, Imperfect Tense
		It was Gooden, we're told, who put drug testing in his contract agreement, supposedly to scotch gossip about his "lifestyle," but really, it would seem, to guard against temptation.
		It's lucky for Gooden that in this ill-fated season the Mets now look like underdogs, that his return is a necessary but not sufficient precondition of their catching the Cardinals (and the Cubs, and the Expos).
		The money is a side effect of Gooden's compulsion to excellence, and none of his indignantly cited antisocial behavior has that look of pigheaded arrogance rock critics know so well--for an appointed demigod, especially such a young one, he's done a decent job of holding his ego in check.
