A few weeks ago I was driving to work and I heard Darryl Strawberry talking about his new book. Tom and the crew asked several questions about his addiction, baseball, and his future. At the end he plugged his book and said that he had been clean for 3 years. Tom and company congratulated him before he went to his commercial break.
In the late 80s and early 90s I was a HUGE baseball fan. During that time if you liked baseball then you LOVED Darryl Strawberry. He like so many athletes let their fans down by their ignorant behavior off the field.
I'm glad that he's "got his life together" after so many failed attempts. What annoyed me to no end was that Tom, Sybil, and J congratulated him for being clean for 3 years. Fcuk that! I've been clean my entire life and no one ever congratulated me! Why is everyone excited about Darryl doing what you're supposed to do? That's like congratulating a father for being a father. Darryl get over yourself! I have no sympathy for you!
The only thing that separates me from a crackhead is that I said no.
