Gone are the days when a young, rising star which played on both New York baseball teams in the mid 80s to early 90s wowed packed crowds at stadiums. The pitching prodigy proved to be impressive, recording amazing strikeout totals and superb performances. Now a beaten man, Doc Gooden ponders where he went wrong while sitting in a Florida prison for violating his probation by smoking cocaine. The 41-year-old stated, "I'd rather be shot then come back to jail."
Gooden will serve just over a year in prison for his addiction. It's truly a shame the road the former star baseball player has gone down. Of all his battles and repeat occurrences with the law you would think he would have learned his lesson by now. The real question here is, what the hell is wrong with you Doc?!! Does the allure of crack outweight the importance of your life?
I hate to say it, but Doc is getting to be a charity case. No one should really feel sympathy for him. He has put himself in this uncomfortable position. Obsessions and addictions are tough to break, everyone can agree on that. On the other hand, there still comes a time in every man's life where you have to let things go and snap the hell outta your fantasy world. Doc, try hard to get a grip on your life and return to reality.
