--------
Former MLB star Dwight "Doc" Gooden reflected on a tumultuous period in his career, marked by drug usage and complex team dynamics. By 1987, the Mets administered a drug test. Unaware of his rights, Gooden complied and the test returned positive. Faced with suspension, Gooden opted for rehab, acknowledging the heartbreak it caused his family. Tensions further escalated when Gooden felt that teammate Darryl Strawberry had indirectly exposed his drug use. Allegedly, Ray Knight relayed to Gooden that Strawberry had implied his involvement in drug activities. Gooden, who admitted to partying alongside some teammates including Strawberry, felt betrayed. Post-rehab, Gooden's professional life saw contract disputes and friction with the Mets. Despite missing two months, he still secured 15 wins in 1987, only to face a salary cut. After contemplating free agency, he eventually accepted a lucrative $15 million deal, ensuring financial stability and moving his family to a peaceful neighborhood.

These young kids have no idea how dominant Doc Gooden was in the early stages of his career.
Bro, most of us don’t even watch baseball. After big Poppy and Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter I don’t even know who any of these guys are anymore. Except that one Japanese dude who has the crazy contract with the LA Dodgers or whatever team that is in California.
No shit, they literally weren't alive.
At the age of 21 "Doc" had one of the most dominant seasons in the history of baseball.... Without the Drugs he would be an all time great..
Doc WAS A MONSTER!!!!
Facts….From 84-86 he was the best ever
Lol..."That's a damn shame man"...Sums up Gooden and Strawberry perfectly.
Dwight is not telling the whole story. There had been rumors of him using drugs all of ‘86. Dwight was the one who insisted a drug testing clause be added to his contract in Spring of ‘87 (I guess to dispel the rumors he knew were true). I don’t think Doc knew the Mets would hand him a pee cup right then and there tho. 🤭
“Yea we were doing em together 😄”
😂😂😂
Doc a good sport! To able to talk about your past drug habit, takes a lot!
Same old Doc! Always a good bro. For the record, the Mets were party animals.
Almost the whole roster.
Doc and Darryl took the heat for the team but most of those guys were a mess!😂
Exactly from LennyDykstra, Keith Hernandez and some other guys
Right Lenny Dykstra, Keith Hernandez were on that team.
Business is business. They shouldn’t have cut Doc’s pay.
Facts
Dang Darry Strawbery of all people snitched on doc smh lol
That mf ain't living right 😂
@@freebandz509 exactly lol
@@freebandz509wasn’t
Same people on my job. Mfs be snitching and doing drugs trying to get some brownie points smh
@@ewash1984me too man micromanaging toxic too
Darryl told that story a little bit differently on the Darryl and Doc 30-for-30. Darryl claims he told Ray Knight "It isn't me", and by default Ray knew it was Doc because there were only 2 Black "Young Superstars on that team"..... Darryl told his version to Doc on camera sitting in he diner. Why Doc believes Ray Knight over Darryl needs to be explained
Probably because Ray was always a stand up guy.
Dwight like Vida Blue could've have well over 300 wins and Strawberry 500 hrs. What could've been
15 million adjusted for inflation is like 50 million probably today
sounds like darryl was the plug lolol
When I was a little kid. I collected baseball cards I remember fam near memorizing his card/stats. Doc was one of the good ones back then
the 1984 topps may still have some value.
((Those were the days)) - eating that terrible gum that came inside of the package with the cards - setting the cards up on the table in each players position - I use to spend hours as a kid with my shoe box and baseball cards
@christopherbrock8913 I loved that stick gum actually. for the first minute at least.
@@climatescientist lol - 1 minute is exactly right 🤣 with white powder chalk around your lips 🤣
@@christopherbrock8913 lol yeah. I still love big league chew though. grape and watermelon
man i was hurt when Straw left too. still a Mets fan but promptly bought a Strawberry Dodgers shirt 😂
Respect that doc has for darryl is still very heart warming to listen to doc talk highly of darryl.respect
0:20: One of the other players that Vlad is referring to was Ray Knight. Peter Ueberroth, who was at the time, the commissioner of Major League Baseball informed Knight that one of the Mets' young black stars had a drug problem, but didn't specifically say who. When Knight confronted Darryl Strawberry about what Ueberroth told him and asked Strawberry if he was the player who had the drug problem, Strawberry immediately said "It's not me, it's Doc!"
Love your unique style, never change!
I don’t care 🤷🏾♂️ how much is past effects his current presentation. Doc is obviously intelligent and his story is extraordinary!
Whew, young black kids don’t care about baseball these days because of rap but DAMN they don’t and can’t understand how FIRE and COLD BLOODED this dude was. Dude was surgical ✍🏽
I sat next to Doc on a flight once. He was the nicest guy and he told me stories the whole flight
strawberry stayed putting in work when gooden pitched usually hit a homerun in first inning give doc a lil lead
If Strawberry is your security blanket then you know you have a problem bloop
That story Doc told about his parents hardly exists anymore in the race. And that's the hard cold truth no one will ever say.
Wha? The race? Are you saying that parents are no longer disappointed by the shortcomings of their children? In the race?
Hard cold truth?
What are you saying?
You may wanna explain that comment.
@@unc1589 That's exactly what I'm saying. Have you seen the city streets lately? We ain't in Mayberry anymore.
Sounds like you’ve watched too many episodes of Oprah perpetuating that myth. All the data shows that more than ever black fathers are present. When a black child does something out of pocket it’s always an immediate rush to blame the lack of parenting. White kids shoot up a church, school or grocery store it’s “mental health.” You’ve been had with this old played out playbook to demonize black families
@@JM-st6ut no it doesn't. the data says the exact opposite and it's sad. kids need fathers.
@@tommyfu9271 that is a lie. You don’t understand data. I guess you also believe there were rapes in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina or there was a crackbaby epidemic. Lies. 100% cap. Whose data are you citing? Generically claiming “the data” is for folks who don’t understand it. Black fathers are more present than ever. That’s not even in question. That you think it is means your data probably comes from The Heritage Foundation. Unless you understand the scope and method of how the data is acquired and discerned “the data” doesn’t mean anything. So who’s data?
My all time favorite pitcher! Baseball’s best for about a 5 year stretch
Incredible interviewee and Vlad as interviewer 😪
We did it together 😂
One of my favorite pitchers!! Him and Dave Stewart
That's damn disappointing to hear if it's true The Straw went and snitched on The Doc...
It's detailed in the ESPN "30 for 30" documentary on the 1986 Mets, "Once Upon a Time in Queens". Ray Knight asked Darryl Strawberry if he was using drugs after the commissioner of baseball, Peter Ueberroth told Knight that one of the Mets' in his words, "young black stars" had a drug problem. And when asked by Knight about it, Strawberry immediately told him that it was Doc (as in Doc Gooden) who had the problem.
Is that his stomach in the back?
Darryl talked about this in their ESPN 30 for 30. They came to Darryl about a black player using drugs, he said it wasn't me, since there were so few blacks on the team they pointed to Doc. Darryl claimed he never mentioned Doc by name.
I'm glad Doc talked about the injury. People always point to the substance abuse for his decline and I am sure that played a part, but the injury is really what did him in. Like he said, never the same.
He missed a whole championship parade, and they still couldn’t figure it out?
Doc was a MACHINE !!!!! N** threw a 137 mph ! lol...... Im in LA and I loved watching that Mets team as a kid !!
Doc and strawberry are the guys !! 🫡
Of course Vlad would skip right over the '88 NLCS game with the Scioscia HR run. One of the all time moments in baseball. Bro can't do nothing but Wikipedia.

Worst baseball team to ever win the world series.
Rooted!
I remember when Scioscia hit that home run, Unbelievable! I was 10 years old born & raised in L.A. so I was a dodgers fan, but those Met teams seemed unbeatable. Dodgers won it all that year beating the A’s another seemingly unbeatable team.
Scioscia probably couldn't believe it either.
Doc is misremembering here. It was Game 4 of the 1988 NLCS that he gave up the home run to Mike Scioscia, not Game 5.
Of course Vlad skips right over it. One of the biggest moments in postseason baseball. SMH.
Love DOC ☝🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍀
Darryle 🐀 berry 😂
Vlad does some dope ass interviews.. The ppl he chooses and topics are dope af... Stop playin.. I don't see too many ppl covering our culture (esp that golden era) as dope as Vlad ....F what ya'll talking about.. Lord Jamar, you my n*** !!!!!! but I gotta keep it real.. Aint nobody else covervin ppl like The Doc, D Strawberry etc .. The "random" ppl he chooses to interview that are apart of our culture are dope af... Im sorry I gotta call it what it is..

"ok its 1987 start of the season by this time your still kinda doing drugs and its starting to affect you alittle bit?" Um he missed the championship parade because he was in a crack house smoking crack. you think the drugs were effecting him chad? then laughs when Doc thought the coke would be out his system in 5 hours. dont hurt yourself hopping off your high horse there Chad. not cool👎
