Why This Card?

Dwight "Doc" Gooden was one of the most dominant pitchers of the 1980s and one of the most electrifying young talents in baseball history. The 1985 National League Cy Young Award winner and 1984 NL Rookie of the Year, Gooden burst onto the scene with one of the greatest rookie seasons ever, striking out 276 batters at age 19. His 1985 season was legendary, posting a 24-4 record with a microscopic 1.53 ERA and 268 strikeouts, winning the pitching Triple Crown. Gooden's combination of a blazing fastball and devastating curveball made him virtually unhittable during his prime. A four-time All-Star, Gooden was the ace of the 1986 World Series champion New York Mets, one of the most talented teams in baseball history. His ability to dominate games with strikeouts while maintaining excellent control made him one of the most feared pitchers in baseball. Gooden's early career success and electric stuff captivated baseball fans and made him one of the most popular players of the era.
