Like a shooting star, the career of Dwight Gooden shone brightly but burned out far too quickly. “Doctor K” won three World Series championships, 194 big-league games, and was victorious in sixty-three percent of his pitching decisions, one of the top marks in baseball history. He was elected to the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 2010. This jersey from Leaf Authentics is a double-knit with tackle twill numbers and lettering and the Mets’ unique orange and blue shoulder stripes. Gooden’s career highlights are woven into the back of the jersey, a lasting tribute to one of the game’s greats.
