HACKENSACK, N.J. -- Acting commissioner Bud Selig has rejected free agent Dwight Gooden's request to shorten his one-year suspension from baseball for violating his drug after-care program, the former Cy Young Award winner said yesterday in the Record.
"He [Selig] said that with only six weeks left in the season, it was better for me to keep working on my after-care program," Gooden said.
