Dwight Gooden's speech at his number retirement ceremony. Humility, regret, gratitude. Clear as day under the rain at Shea.

Dwight Gooden's popularity outstrips his career performance by a lot. You can see it reflected in the sales prices of his 1984 Topps Traded rookie cards. The football analogue is probably Mark Bavaro. The basketball one might be Charles Oakley.

My take on it is that he repeatedly stuck his thumb in Met's front offices' collective eye. Especially his dig about winning a World Series with the Yankees.
