Jacob deGrom’s dominance helping Dwight Gooden fully understand his own
NY Post
Dwight Gooden only remembers what friends, family members and fans have told him about 1985. He was too much in the moment, living that magical season, dominating every fifth game.
He’s starting to relive it now — the buzz, the anticipation and the thrilling masterpiece performances — as he watches another hard-throwing Mets right-hander light up the sport. “What deGrom is doing, I can watch him and kind of understand what the fans were telling me, the joy that I brought to them, the excitement I brought to them into their house. He’s bringing the excitement to me watching him,” Gooden told The Post over the phone on Saturday, the day after another Jacob deGrom gem, a 15-strikeout shutout of the Nationals. “Me and my son were sitting there watching the game last night, we couldn’t believe it.”More Related News
