...pitchers in today's game, who would be the toughest for you to face? Johan Santana [of the New York Mets] would be one of them. He's phenomenal. He reminds me so much of what Doc Gooden once was. You give him runs early enough, he's going to win that ballgame. Doc Gooden was the same way. You give him three runs early, you can close the door...
...cases. And football is by no means the only sports victim. The infection kept Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Alex Rios out of the 2006 All-Star Game. A few days later another Toronto player caught it, and the clubhouse was disinfected. NBA players Paul Pierce, Grant Hill and Drew Gooden have had it. Staph killed a high school wrestler in California this summer, and last spring 15 students at a Pennsylvania high school were either treated for staph or symptoms caused by the virus...
...frequent mood of misery was absent last week, and so it may not be a complete coincidence that baseball's strike was short-lived. Over an amazing prestrike weekend, baseball's Rod Carew, Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden, football's Joe Namath, O.J.

"It's especially great coming today," said Gooden. "This is something I'll always remember." Seaver was about through beating the Yankees, 4-1, when returning to the dugout after...
June 15th — Trying to add new life to the team, the Texas Rangers attempt to sign Doc Gooden and Daryl Strawberry. Their parole officers refuse, so the Rangers go on to inquire about former Yankee pitcher Steve Howe, who was banned from baseball on many occasions in the early 90s for cocaine use and was once found carrying a gun onto an airplane. Howe though, decides not to come out of retirement. To his disappointment, GM John Hart also discovers that one-time Tampa Bay Devil Rays super-prospect Toe Nash will not be available for this...
