Manage episode 422841140 series 2888226
Jim is joined by the creator of MLB Daily Dingers and writer for Heavy Sports, Matt Musico, to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB pitcher Dwight "Doc" Gooden. First, Jim and Matt discuss Doc's rookie season and where it ranks among the greatest rookie seasons in MLB history (6:45). Next, they cover Doc's 1996 no-hitter with the New York Yankees, just how similar he compares to another pitcher who also went by "Doc" and how Gooden's historic 1985 season stacks up against 1968 Bob Gibson, 1972 Steve Carlton, and 2000 Pedro Martinez (17:40). Finally, they rank Doc among the best pitchers of the 1980s (44:30), before making a final call on whether or not Doc deserves to be inducted into Cooperstown (60:44).
