September 16 - 22, 1985

from Catch the Rising Stars: A New York Mets Retro Podcast · host Phil Abramson

After there was Babe Ruth and before there was Shohei Ohtani, there was Dwight Gooden.  Dr. K was not only a phenomenal pitcher in 1985, he could hit too!  Hear about a week where Doc has two starts, pitches great in both of them, but at the plate goes 5 for 8, with 6 RBIs, including a 3-run home run.  All this while the Mets continue to battle the Cardinals for first place with just a few weeks left in the season!
