Here's a sad story...Dwight Gooden. 1984, he comes out of the gate just like IRL - 16-13, 1.74 ERA, 280 Ks, and Rookie of the Year. Midway through 1985, he suffers a strained rotator cuff, ends up 13-6 with a 3.24 ERA, 190 Ks and apparently tried to pitch out of the bullpen when he came back from the injury. Next year, he's in AA and never leaves until November 1993, when he becomes a minor league free agent.

It's enough to drive a man to drugs...
