Description
Up for sale is a 1999 Easton Press copy of "HEAT: MY LIFE ON AND OFF THE DIAMOND" by Dwight "Doc" Gooden. This is a special first edition copy of this book that has been signed by the author and limited to 1600 copies of which this one is numbered 1093. Dwight Gooden's early years with the New York Mets were golden -- he was the youngest winner of the Cy Young Award in baseball history and led the New York Mets to one of the most dramatic World Series victories in 1986. Dwight Gooden -- a.k.a. Doc or simply Dr. K -- had a fastball that hitters just could not beat. But Gooden's fall was as quick and dramatic as his rise. By 1994 he had twice been suspended from the league for drug abuse, plunging him into a vicious cycle that threatened his career and, ultimately, his life. Today, Dwight Gooden is back in the big leagues. Heat captures Gooden's poignant road to recovery, and how it culminated in his second World Series ring with the New York Yankees in 1996 and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Yankees club. During his fourteen years in the big leagues, Dwight Gooden has seen plenty. Heat brings to life the glorious world championship baseball through the eyes of one of its most popular and talented stars. This book is in very good condition.

The item was exactly as described. There was a hiccup with shipping that was not the sellers fault, the seller was so kind and helpful with making sure the package got to me. The item itself was packaged very well and I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth. I would definitely buy from this seller again and highly recommend. Thanks again!
