Current Goal

Finish the 1984 Gooden Rookie Season by the end of August.

25 games to go. I think I can do it, if I pace myself, and allow for playing other solitaire sport or war games.

Then maybe I can tackle the rest of the 1974 D’Acquisto Rookie Season by Halloween.

Stay tuned!

1984: Dwight Gooden, Game 6

May 6, 1984: Astros @ Mets, Shea Stadium

Age and Treachery vs. Youth and Enthusiasm

Final from Shea Stadium:

A complete game shutout for Gooden (10 strikeouts), with Hubie Brooks providing all the offense needed.

The Mets are now 6-0 in games that Gooden starts.

Dwight Gooden is now 4-0 (actual record: 2-2) through those 6 starts.

Next Opponent: Gooden vs. Valenzuela @ Dodger Stadium

Stay tuned!
