Wife wins injunction to freeze Gooden's bank account Friday, December 19, 2003
Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. -- The wife of former Cy Young Award winner Dwight Gooden has won an emergency injunction to have his bank account frozen.
The attorney for Gooden's wife Monica asked for the judgment after receiving bank statements showing that half of the $682,000 profit from the sale of the couple's home last year had disappeared.
Gooden will be allowed to withdraw about $11,000 a month to pay support for his wife and four children, and $5,000 a month for his own expenses.
The couple's divorce trial is scheduled for March.
Gooden, the 1985 NL Cy Young Award winner, went 194-112 with a 3.51 ERA before retiring in 2001. He is now an adviser to New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and a minor league pitching coach for the club.
