MrRant 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2003 TAMPA, Fla. -- The teenage son of former major league pitcher Dwight Gooden was arrested after he allegedly sold crack cocaine to undercover deputies, according to a newspaper report. Dwight Gooden Jr., 17, was arrested Wednesday after he and 19-year-old Kendon Davis sold 2.4 grams crack cocaine to undercover deputies, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Lt. Rod Reder told the Tampa Tribune. The amount was valued at $200. He was charged with possession and delivery of crack cocaine. After his arrest Gooden was taken to a juvenile detention center, Reder said. The elder Gooden retired in 2001, ending his major league career with a 194-112 record and a 3.51 ERA. He was suspended for 60 days in June 1994 for testing positive for cocaine while with the Mets. He tested positive for cocaine again while on suspension and was sidelined for the 1995 season. He played 11 seasons with the New York Mets, becoming the youngest Cy Young Award winner in 1985 at age 20 and pitching for a World Series championship team a year later. In 1996, he pitched a no-hitter for the New York Yankees. He struck out 2,293 in 2,800 2-3 innings over his career Sounds like the kid kept in contact with his daddy's hookups.

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted October 4, 2003 Why do rich kids insist on doing things they don't even have to do? I know Doc Gooden wasn't at his peak in this era of super-big contracts, but he had to have saved at least a few million dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lomasmoney 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2003 I think that Strawberry is trying to clean up his life again. Its really sad that a talented person has been destroyed by drug abuse and that while it seems like he wants to actually stay clean chances are he will relapse again. As for Gooden, I would figure he has money saved from the last years of his career when he was clean and sober, but im sure that most of the money he made in his prime went up his nose. Its fucking sad how great both of them were when they were so young and its even more amazing that at times, at the end of their careers you could still see glimpses of why they could have both been 1st ballot hall of famers. Hell Gooden was on pace to become the greatest pitcher ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
