Legolas the Elf Lord of the Rings The Two Towers Baseball star Darryl Strawberry, who once declared that hitting a home run is easier than staying in recovery from addiction to alcohol or other drugs, has agreed to serve as the national spokesperson for the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD). In this capacity, Strawberry will appear at NCADD functions and travel to NCADD Affiliates around the country for personal speaking engagements as his health and professional schedule permit. "This role will provide me with an opportunity to give something back to all the people who supported me in my own battle with addiction," said Strawberry. "I want to reach kids with the message that alcohol and other drugs can take over your life no matter who you are and destroy everything that you've ever worked hard foryour talent, your career, your self-respect and even your family." Young sports fans can identify with Darryl Strawberry," explained NCADD board member Adele C. Smithers, who encouraged the 36-year-old New York Yankee outfielder to assume this important responsibility off the baseball diamond. "Because he has `been there, done that,' they will hear what he has to say. With his enormous name recognition, Strawberry will help NCADD drive home our prevention message stronger than ever before to a much larger audience."

On Being A Baseball Fan Feb 25 2000: The Strawberry Rocker Soap Opera The news is fairly well-plastered these days with two types of negative articles about baseball. Those about Darryl Strawberry's relapse into cocaine use, and those on John Rocker's December Sports Illustrated interview, where he offended just about everyone with his racist, homophobic, and generally ass-headed comments. It has been interesting to see how few people have come out in support of Rocker, at least in the mainstream press (I don't read the KKK's newspaper so I wouldn't know...) Ted Turner, media giant and owner of the Braves, who has been in controversies over his own foot-in-mouth statements, basically said, well you have to give the guy another chance. Several ballplayers have also come out saying that we can give Rocker at least a little benefit of the doubt for being dumb enough to act like a tough guy the only way he knew how, even if he doesn't really feel that way "in his heart"as Rocker said in his statement of apology. Hank Aaron didn't exactly embrace Rocker, but cited his youth and inexperience with the spotlight of fame. So, if you want to give the guy the widest possible leeway, he appears redeemable. If you want to take his comments at face value, though, you have to pretty much believe that white militias everywhere will soon be carrying flags with his face on them. Where will John Rocker be in ten years, mentally, and ethically? Will anything change?

There I was - a chubby, 10-year-old Persian kid, listening to the Dodger game on the radio, while my mom had a bunch of her friends over for coffee. The Dodgers were in a clutch game against the Atlanta Braves, who were making a run for pennant that season. It was the bottom of the ninth, Azul (that's blue in Spanish) down by two, two runners on, and Darryl Strawberry was the winning run at the plate. Dodgers' Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully was calling the game, and he made that old, run-down, Sony radio sound like a piece of art. "Here's the pitch to Strawberry...he hits it wayyyy back, sheeeee isssss gone!" Scully said, while I was jumping up and down out of sheer excitement. I ran down the stairs and began yelling Strawberry in Persian to my Mom's friends, who were laughing because they said I was "cute." I wasn't trying to be cute. I was making a statement.

Darryl Strawberry Darryl Eugene Strawberry Batted: Left Threw: Left Height: 6'6" Weight: 190 lbs. Born: March 12, 1962 in Los Angeles, CA What a shame. A Hall-of-Fame talent. But a completely undisciplined individual, at least as far as being able to resist the allure of drug abuse and moral vice. In the first eight seasons that Darryl started the year in the big leagues, he was named to the NL All-Star team. No Mets fan of the '80s will be able to forget the sight of Straw's follow-thru, as he launched another majestic home run deep into right field. But after that last All-Star season, he never got as many as 300 at-bats again, despite lasting in the big leagues for eight more years. And now Darryl will always be remembered as the morally bankrupt shell of a man who was arrested so many times for drug violations and threatened suicide, instead of the superstar who played on multiple World Championship clubs and courageously overcame cancer. What a shame.

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.

Zinos - Sports Read everywhere Apr 9, 2000 On the Wings of Darryl Strawberry The harrowing roller coaster career of baseball slugger Darryl Strawberry powerfully portrayed by journalist Eve Berliner. (Commentary) Darryl Strawberry, with the grace of a gazelle, doe-eyed, long legged metaphor of summer, the swing so sweet, the power so audacious, the rogue prince so beautiful an incarnation. He knew the consequences would destroy him, the treacherous desires. There in the clutch for everyone but himself. Darryl Strawberry, the sisyphian man laboring to push the heavy boulder to the top of the hill only to have it crash down in another senseless debacle; and the eternal struggle begins anew, the uphill battle to be fought again, the protagonist conquered by the force of his own inner demons. Darryl Darryl Darryl the chanting of the crowd as he emerges from the clubhouse and bows gently after turbocharging a homerun to the stars. He is New York City's wild child. We bred him, we shared in his glory, his drama. Our 1986 World Champion New York Mets! Our victorious New York Yankees and the lingering memory of their triumphant 1999 World Series victory parade through Wall Street's wildly frenetic canyons, culminating in Darryl sobbing on the steps of City Hall overcome with emotion for those who loved him, stood by him, when cancer stalked his life and cocaine took his brains.

ESPNdeportes ALSO SEE Clock strikes 440 feet for Strawberry Strawberry's story one of unfulfilled potential By Mike Puma Special to ESPN.com "All that was left now was to blow his brains out and hope the life insurance policy would take care of his family," says Bergen Record sportswriter Bob Klapisch on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series. Strawberry helped the Yankees win their first World Series in 18 years with their victory over Atlanta in 1996. What he didn't achieve in baseball was more the story of Darryl Strawberry's career than what he actually accomplished. His 335 home runs and 1,000 RBI seem impressive until one considers how many more he might have recorded had he avoided drugs and alcohol. In his 17-year career with the Mets, Dodgers, Giants and Yankees, Strawberry was suspended three times by Major League Baseball for substance abuse. The Mets' all-time leader in homers (252) and RBI (733), the lean rightfielder burst on the scene in 1983 as a 21-year-old rookie who became revered for his smooth left-handed swing, with a sweet last name impossible to forget. He was part of four world championship teams, settling into a complementary role with the Yankees after starring for the Mets for eight seasons. Assorted injuries, drinking and a cocaine addiction sabotaged the 6-foot-6, 215-pound Strawberry in his prime. Over his final eight seasons, he averaged only 42 games and finished with a .259 lifetime average.

Arrêté en octobre dernier pour possession et consommation de stupéfiants, Darryl Strawberry (38 ans) a purgé 21 des 30 jours de détention pour lesquels il avait été condamné. Les malheurs de Darryl ne s'arrêtent cependant pas là puisqu'il est atteint d'un cancer du colon. Argument dont il a usé auprès du juge en charge de son dossier afin de justifier sa prise de drogue. Strawberry a affirmé avoir perdu "le goût de la vie". Le magistrat a donc demandé à ce qu'il reprenne sa chimiothérapie et qu'il suive une cure de désintoxication chez les "Toxicomanes Anonymes".

WEATHER TRAFFIC CLN HOME CLASSIFIEDS ... DOINGS CITY HOMES CRIB NOTES HOT HOODS WORKED UP COVER ... THINK TANK / RANT The last Straw Dying golden boy now targeted for 'justice' CHRIS RENALDO For the second time in 10 months, Darryl Strawberry is in trouble with the law. There are some who want to lock Strawberry up and throw away the key; some who want to "make an example" of him. What they don't know is this: Darryl Strawberry is an example. He's an example of the avarice of Major League Baseball and of the hypocrisy and futility of America's "war on drugs." For those of you unfamiliar with (or not interested in) Major League Baseball, Darryl Strawberry is the very definition of all that is wrong with the sport. He was a gifted athlete with a sweet swing and enough talent to land him in the Hall of Fame. But Darryl Strawberry will not be venerated as one of baseball's great players. Instead, he will be remembered as a cocaine-addicted underachiever who exhibited greatness at times but, more often than not, succumbed to his own arrogance, profoundly poor judgment and lack of discipline. While Strawberry's career held great promise (1983 National League Rookie of the Year), it was his off-field performances that seemed to define his career. Beginning in 1990 and running through last month, Strawberry's numerous run-ins with the law (cocaine possession, income tax evasion, spousal abuse, soliciting a prostitute) are well documented. Yet, because of his stature as a cash cow for Major League Baseball, he never had to answer for his transgressions. The war on drugs was designed to incarcerate gang-bangers from South Central L.A. and Colombian cocaine cowboys, not multi-millionaire jocks who lead the National League in home runs.
