"Heat" was also the title of a 1999
autobiography by former baseball pitcher
Dwight Gooden, with Bob Klapisch. The book details Gooden's meteoric rise to fame in the mid-80s and his highly-publicized fall, due to
cocaine.
It's a good read, and gives insight into the battles of a recovering drug addict. Particularly moving was a desciption of a night when Gooden held a gun to his head, in absolute misery, his life falling apart.
