Every other week, we bring you exclusive interviews with Yankees players, coaches, alumni or front office executives. Plus, Yankees Magazine’s editors take you inside their feature stories and discuss what’s happening around the stadium.
We have a special one this week, as YES Networks Meredith Marakovits sits down to chat with Doctor K himself, Dwight Gooden. A two-time world champ with the Yankees (and, sure, a winner with that team across town, as well), Gooden’s career highlights were as remarkable as his personal and professional lows were devastating. But the pitcher is an open book, and he details the horrors of addiction and the work he has done to remake his life. Then, Meredith is joined by Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for a look back at Gooden’s life and career. Finally, we send it over to the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America, where Brian Richards has a History Books chapter about the 1936 Bronx Bombers.

Then, they begin the process of looking forward to the 2026 Yankees season. Hope, as always, springs eternal. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the History Books for a chapter about World Series bling. This episode is brought to you by the 2026 Infiniti QX60. Luxury that refuses to follow. This episode is brought to you by Charles Tyrwhitt — style that hits it out of the park.
