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. _____________________________ SOURCES https://pastebin.com/xZpV7BzX _____________________________ BUSINESS INQUIRIES [email protected] _____________________________ TIMESTAMPS 0:00​ - 1:13 Intro 1:14​ - 2:57 The Miserable Mets 2:58​ - 5:54 The Good Doctor 5:55 - 7:19 19, 19, 1985 7:20 - 9:39 '86 9:40 - 13:16 The Beginning of the End 13:17 - 14:19 Ad Time (woohoo let's go) 14:20 - 16:57 What's Up, Doc? 16:58 - 20:18 Rock Bottom 20:19 - 24:17 The Way Back 24:18 - 29:09 The Game _____________________________ MUSIC "Bleeding Signs" - Chris Shards "Blue Nights and Yellow Days" - Matt Large "Calm Before the Storm" - Howard Harper-Barnes "Get Moving" - Water Mirrors "Hip-Hop Pro" - Pro Reese "Keep the Fire Burning (Instrumental Version)" - Ethan Martin "Pretty Carolina" - Jontha Links "Soul Jazz Legacy" - SINY "The Struggle Is Real" - Matt Large "The Unveiling" - Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen "Travel to Centaurus" - Nihoni
