New York-based Psychologist, Attorney & Professor Robert Goldman on the Doc Gooden HOF Push

Welcome to a special edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this powerful episode, we speak with New York-based Psychologist, Attorney, and Professor of Restorative Justice at Hofstra University and St. Joseph’s College, Dr. Robert Goldman, J.D., Psy.D. We dive into a meaningful conversation surrounding MLB legend Dwight “Doc” Gooden and the growing movement to get him inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

As a close friend of Dwight Gooden, Dr. Goldman shares deep insights from his Psychology Today article, “Finding Meaning in the Mess: A Hero’s Narrative.” This episode explores themes of character, redemption, personal growth, and the powerful impact of second chances. With Hall of Fame–worthy stats on the field and a transformational story off it, Dwight Gooden’s journey is one of triumph over adversity—and it’s time for his legacy to be honored.
