Gooden made his major-league debut on April 7, 1984 at the age of 19 with the New York Mets.

He received the nicknamed “Dr. K” (“K” being the standard abbreviation for strikeout), which soon became shortened to “Doc”.
Gooden’s MLB career spanned from 1984 until 2000 playing for the Mets, Yankees and Indians, among other major league teams. Gooden retired at age 35 in 2001 after he was cut by the Yankees in spring training, ending his career with a record of 194–112. More than half of those wins came before age 25. He was officially inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame On August 1, 2010, along with Darryl Strawberry, Frank Cashen, and Davey Johnson.
