Earlier this year, Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry were the subjects of an ESPN 30 for 30 that portrayed their downfall from burgeoning superstars to troubled drug addicts. According to the now-clean Strawberry, Gooden's most recent relapse leaves his life in danger.
"I have to try something before he’s dead," Strawberry told John Harper of the New York Daily News on Saturday as part of a public plea to get his friend help.
Strawberry previously expressed concern for Gooden after the former ace failed to show up to an appearance the two were scheduled to make last week in New York.
