By all accounts, Dwight Gooden should not have been on the field the night of May 14th, 1996.

In fact, if you had to take a guess as to his whereabouts on that chilly May evening, based purely off of the trajectory of his life up until that day, it’s fair to say that the Yankee Stadium pitcher’s mound is the very last place you’d expect him to be.

At 31 years old, Gooden had already experienced triumphs the likes of which most people could only dream of, and the kind of hardships most of us pray we never have to face.

From a blistering rise to the top, that made him one of the best young aces the sport had ever seen, to a stunning fall from grace that rendered him mere inches from death, this is the story of how Doc Gooden defied the odds to deliver one of the most improbable pitching performances of all-time.
