As a Miami Marlins fan since 1993, I feel the same about Jose Fernandez. And maybe these things are similar, and maybe their not because Jose killed people (there's so much more to the story unfortunately). But still..watching Jose play, going to 2 opening days that he dominated, it was a treat. I imagine it was the same for Doc.

@@travisramirez7143 kind of but in the begging doc was truly like no one else. Jose was great and the difference between them I believe is the Jose didn’t hit his peak yet, if he had he may have been comparable. Jose was amazing and I think he would have continued to improve no doubt but Doc was just insane from the jump and then he fell off from drugs and other things. So they may have been similar talent wise but sadly Jose’s passing just makes it harder to compare but don’t get me wrong Jose’s strikeout numbers were Elite. I don’t know much about is passing I know there was controversy but no matter what that was a huge loss for baseball and the world in general as he was an inspiration to young Cuban players and young fans and he will be missed. (Btw I know this is an old comment just needed to say that. It makes me sad when I think about the downfall of such a young protege he may have had his problems but nobody deserves to die, would have loved to see him grow has a person and player. rest easy Jose 🙏 )

Dwight flew to New York the day after the no-hitter, giving his father the final-out ball from the night before. Dan Gooden would never leave the hospital, passing away in January. Thank you for posting this video, it brought back a lot of good memories from when I was still a fan of the game. 🙂

Preternatural grace and quiet confidence, but with nasty stuff, almost seems contradictory. Appreciate your video, much respect.

I was at this game and it was a wonderful accident. I had tix for the Yanks home opener and there was a snowstorm that April in NYC. I was only 15 yrs old and reckless at the time, so I stayed for the whole game in the freezing snow. Yanks decided to give free tix to whoever was left at the end (maybe 1000 of us) & we got to pick one of 3 future games. So I picked a random Tuesday night game and it happened to be May 14, 1996...the Doc No-Hitter. Best game I have ever been to!

I was at Yankee Stadium for his no-hitter! There was lot of anticipation for his return to NY and of course the excitement grew as the game went on. I remember the last 2 innings you could see he was out of gas but Torre was not taking him out. It was great! Is funny, I don't go to a lot of ball games, maybe 1 or 2 a season. But I've seen some of the most rare events: a no hitter, a batter hitting for the cycle, a team turn not one, but TWO triple plays in one game.

He had one of the best seasons ever in 1985. Unfortunately the Mets missed the playoffs despite winning 98 games, there was no wild card and STL won 101 games. Doc was 4-0 with a 0.34 ERA in 6 starts in that September. The Mets pitching staff tinkered with his mechanics, for whatever reason. He was still a good pitcher but he said he never quite got the same movement on his fastball from 1986 on. He had the drug problems and shoulder issues, there was a cover article for Sports Illustrated in 1993 about his decline. But looking back, 1993 was actually a pretty solid year for doc, he just had no run support so he went 12-15 with an ERA of 3.45. Offenses began to rise in 1993, so he had an ERA+ of 119 was his best since 1987. He also was 2nd in the NL with 7 complete games.

Quick story. I lived in the Bronx on 170th Street. Just a a couple of hours before that game, a white guy who used to buy "nose candy" on my block pulled up to me and asked me if me and my friends would like some tickets to the game. I was the only one who said yes. He gave me my ticket and told me I'll see you at the game later on. I walked to the stadium and got to my seat just as Williams made that catch in center field. The guy who gave me the ticket bought me hotdogs, soda and a pennant flag. Glad I was there to witness history especially since Doc was one of my favorite pitchers and my coach actually nicknamed me Doc because he said I my delivery reminded him of Gooden. I still have my ticket stub from that game and the pennant!

Definitely pretty up there in terms of doing the impossible... but it was a different Doc's no-hitter that might be even more impressive. Specifically, Dock Ellis, who somehow pitched a no-hitter _while high on LSD._ "I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the [catcher's] glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters, and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes, I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me." Now there's a story that definitely needs more exposure and telling. :)
