Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this episode, we speak with Noel Roby — creator of TheBaseballStoryteller.com, former player, passionate podcaster, and dedicated advocate for seeing Dwight “Doc” Gooden inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Noel shares his personal connection to Gooden’s Legacy, his inspiring mission to start the conversation around Doc’s Hall of Fame chances, and why Dwight Gooden deserves a place among baseball’s greatest. The momentum may be building — and this conversation is part of that spark.

Joe reflects on meeting Dwight Gooden in 2023 at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, where he pledged to be in Cooperstown when the dream becomes reality. It’s a long shot — but just like Doc’s rise from Tampa to MLB superstardom, the impossible is always possible.
