Baseball great Dwight “Doc” Gooden shows kids in the Simuel Whitfield Simmons Organization program how to throw a curve ball.

About two dozen kids from Franklin and the surrounding area – most of them baseball fans – got a treat on August 7: a face-to-face meeting with baseball great Dwight “Doc” Gooden.

Gooden, who at one time called Piscataway his home, made an appearance at the UFC Gym on Route 1 in North Brunswick under the auspices of the Franklin-based Simuel Whitfield Simmons Organization.
