Friday, February 25, 2000 If Selig forgives Strawberry, why not Rose?
BY PAUL DAUGHERTY
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Baseball's favorite lost soul just flopped off the wagon again; its favorite pariah is still vainly thumbing a ride. It's a question for higher minds why the game concludes Darryl Strawberry's baseball life is worth saving (and re-saving) and Pete Rose's is not. How many times must Strawberry test positive before he gets to join Rose's league? Bud Selig has bent so far backward to help Strawberry, the commissioner could pass as a contortionist. As thanks, Strawberry has mocked Selig's trust. The timeline of Strawberry's screw-ups reads like the life story of a celebrity loser.

    By John Heilemann Sports Free Darryl Sportswriters have exploited Darryl Strawberry as a symbol of baseball's rebirth and as a harbinger of the game's imminent decline maybe it's time to leave the man alone. By Chris Smith M ost of the Yankees are on a bus to Orlando for a spring-training game, but Darryl Strawberry has been left behind. It's a mid-March morning in Tampa. He's recovering from colon-cancer surgery and swinging the bat well, but as the start of the regular season closes in, the signs are clear that Strawberry won't be traveling north with the team. He's surrounded by reporters as he has been pretty much every day for the past sixteen seasons. "I'm begging you, don't leave me in Florida," he says, addressing Yankees management through the writers. Predictably, the next day's papers will make it into a snappy tabloid conflict, but they'll miss Strawberry's implicit cry for help. One month later, Strawberry will be back in print with a mug shot from the Tampa police.

    Incredible baseball card issued by the Los Angeles Police Department in 1991 when Darryl Strawberry of the New York Yankees was on the Los Angeles Dodgers. The card was issed on behalf of the Crime Prevention Advisory Council in the D.A.R.E. to say no to drugs program.
    Unfortunately, 10 years after this card was issued Darryl was in Hillsborough County Court in Tampa, Florida, May 17, 2001, as Judge Florence Foster sentenced him to a drug rehabilitation facility for a violation of his probation on drug charges. The judge suspended a sentence of 18 months in the Florida State Prison. He was adjudicated guilty of cocaine possession and attempting to solicit a prostitute.

    Darryl Strawberry

    Groupies, like physicists, tend to specialize in one form of physical matter, be it musicians, ballplayers or symphony conductors. Just about everything one would want to know about rock groupies, for example, may be found at www.groupiecentral.com
    In Winnipeg,
    Splitting the groupie atom further, it turns out there are even differences between the kinds of men who work professional baseball diamonds. Umpires, it seems, have their own groupies, women who like the order and power symbolized by a man in uniform who can call anybody out. Like the Baseball Annies, the umpire groupies know the right bars to catch their quests, or reacquaint themselves with umps they met on their last way through (post-game, umpires and ballplayers never drink at the same establishments).
    We talked for several minutes, he calmed down, said he understood, agreed with my point, and promised to send me the article he was now going to rewrite based on our conversation. No, would be the new slant, Winnipeg was not the Baseball Annie capitol of the Western World.

    The Ticket Out
    Darryl Strawberry and The Boys of Crenshaw Read an excerpt
    Read reviews
    The year was 1979 and the fifteen teenagers on the Crenshaw High Cougars were the most talented team in the history of high school baseball. They were pure ballplayers, sluggers and sweet fielders who played with unbridled joy and breathtaking skill. The national press converged on Crenshaw. So many scouts gravitated to their games that they took up most of the seats in the bleachers. Even the Crenshaw ballfield was a sight to behold groomed by the players themselves, picked clean of every pebble, it was the finest diamond in all of inner-city Los Angeles. On the outfield fences, the gates to the outside stayed locked against the danger and distraction of the streets. Baseball, for these boys, was hope itself. They had grown up with the notion that it could somehow set things right a vague, unexpressed, but persistent hope that even if life was rigged, baseball might be fair. And for a while it seemed they were right. Incredibly, most of of this team even several of the boys who sat on the bench were drafted into professional baseball. Two of them, Darryl Strawberry and Chris Brown, would reunite as teammates on a National League All-Star roster. But Michael Sokolove's The Ticket Out is more a story of promise denied than of dreams fulfilled. Because in Sokolove's brilliantly reported poignant and powerful tale, the lives of these gifted athletes intersect with the realities of being poor, urban, and black in America. What happened to these young men is a harsh reminder of the ways inspiration turns to frustration when the bats and balls are stowed and the crowd's applause dies down.

    Darryl Strawberry released early from prison. : Another chapter in the already sad story of a fallen baseball star. Apparently, he's been clean longer than he ever has been, but there have also been reports that he was/is suffering from a couple different cancers. Stories like these never seem to end well, but at this point, all you can really hope is he gets what's left of his life together.
    posted by jerseygirl to Baseball at 1:49 PM CST (6 comments total) I agree. Darryl Stawberry was my first favorite baseball player, and the reason I started to follow the Mets as a kid in the mid 80s.
    The very first pack of baseball cards I ever got, I opened them up and Straw was the first card beneath the gum. I thought with a name like that, he couldn't lose! At that young age I didn't realize how wrong I would be.
    posted by corpse at 2:12 PM CST on April 8 I will always remember sitting in the dentists office when he was traded to the Dodgers. I cried for like 10 minutes.

    Continued from Page 5 competition last year before his call up, showed everyone the true meaning of the chasm between the minors and the majors. Some more seasoning at Pawtucket may be in order for Ohka. The bullpen is going to be scrutinized very carefully, especially the travails of one Derek Lowe. Lowe, who is to the Sox what Troy Brown is (for the moment) to the Patriots, will start this year as the closer. Lowe, who does his best work as a setup man but has said often that he prefers to start, will instead be thrust into the ninth-inning oven. Rod Beck will stick around as a setup man, but he showed last year that he is not what he was ten years ago. John Wasdin, Rheal Cormier and Rich Garces look to be solid fixtures as setup men, with Wasdin also doing his usual long/spot start stuff. Then there is Sang-Hoon Lee. He's a Korean blend of Rod Beck and Al Hrabosky. All bets are off on this guy, but he'll at least be interesting to watch and see how he fits in. Just hope that he will have a bigger impact than Robinson Checo.
