It was just ball, ball, ball, his mother said in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Doc & Darryl. He never really had the chance to be a kid. Let’s talk about strikeouts per nine innings. Growing up in Tampa, FL, Gooden was pushed by his father for greatness from a young age. And baseball had never seen anyone like him. It could have been just about any game that season. To be honest with you, the specific moment chosen here - the day near the end of his rookie season when Gooden threw a one-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts against the Cubs - doesn’t really matter.

This project will not contain more words than “Moby Dick,” but we hope you enjoy it.
