When Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden joined the New York Mets in the early 1980s, they helped create the most ferocious and successful baseball team of its time. And no wonder. In Strawberry, Shea Stadium fans saw the perfect home-run hitter, a six-foot-six-inch athlete of extraordinary grace and power who was certain to swing his way into Cooperstown. Where he would be joined, no doubt, by Gooden, at age nineteen the most unhittable pitcher the majors had seen since the heyday of Sandy Koufax. Darryl and Doc couldn't miss. But they did, big-time.
In High and Tight, Bob Klapisch chronicles the rise and fall of these two superstars. He reports on what made them great and reveals the darkest secrets behind what made them fail: the booze, the misbehavior, and, worst of all, the drugs. He shows how their addictions overwhelmed their careers, cost them their tickets to the Hall of Fame, and nearly cost them their lives. And Klapisch shows how the once-lenient attitude of Mets officials made abuse a tolerated activity.
