Amazing how honest he is about everything. " Once you get in the lifestyle you can't get out". Powerful stuff. You hear about alot of the Hollywood stars loaded with money and fame that are still chasing the dragon on the street corner. Very sad. Mad respect for Darryl.
Darryl Strawberry came to my elementary school to talk to the kids about not doing drugs as part of the D.A.R.E program back in the day. Sadly a few years later he had a crack relapse. I hope he stays clean. Much respect to him.
The Larry mazza interview was phenomenal. He allowed him to speak too. And Larry detailed multiple hits he was on. When he told the story of shooting Nicky black with a riot control shotgun in the head in broad daylight was possibly the best story ever told on TH-cam. This interview was good but the Larry mazza one imo was the best interview ever conducted on not just vlad tv but on TH-cam.
Don't care what no one says, strawberry is the man. He's overcame so much and never point fingers because you never know what you might have done. I always loved ya straw.
Yep. - and everything Ken Griffey Jr did in the 90s Strawberry had already done in the 80s - Griffey Jr style and swag, was already done by Strawberry - Eric Davis was sort of like Strawberry also - I just don't believe Eric utilized his full potential because he definitely could have been on this level
Met Strawberry at a restaurant. Very nice man. When he says womanizing not sure how much chasing he was doing but the women do a lot of chasing themselves. Don’t care what anybody says either. Even if married, it’s really hard to resist the temptations. Better off just being average and no money.
I worked Shea Std. Mets Players & Owners Parking lot Straw was a Star Player that knew my name always said Hello to me . He would never drive by kids & not sign autos , take pics etc . He was a Good guy that made bad mistakes but overcame his demons GOD BLESS . I wished The METS would have helped Straw & Doc Better but owner Nelson Doubleday & Mgr Dave Johnson were Heavy Boozers too . Mets Mgt Wilpon & Cashen screwed up Huge letting Straw get away he was Mr Met & their best everyday player .GOD BLESS Him for teaching for CHRIST
Im glad hes overcome everything. I remember growing up and hearing he'd gone missing for like a week and he said he was kidnapped and made to smoke crack for the whole week. Crazy. I never thought hed get clean, him and Lawrence Taylor. And they were some of the best to ever do it in their respective sports.
In the early 80's my buddy invited me to a baseball game at UCLA. It was an exhibition game and my buddy was exited to see this phenom whose name I didnt remember. It wasnt til about 8 years later that I remembered that event and going to that game and realized that we had seen the outfielder for the Mets Daryll Strawberry.
He looks great for 62. I remember standing about 10 feet away from him at Shea Stadium way back in the day, and he was the most spectacular and imposing physique that I have ever seen.

I remember how big this flex by Strawberry was at that time. He was on the TV and radio circuit making his case that he deserved bigger money and anted to test the market. When he signed with the LA Dodgers it made them front runners for division again after finishing right behind the eventual World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds. It just took an amazing run by a then Cinderella Atlanta Braves at the start of their National League dominance.
@@aholmes74ah I was 10yrs. old when that happened. Born & raised in Los Angeles. That post season is still to this day the best memories of the Dodgers.⚾️
Followed Darryl through the minors to NYC starting in 1980 at Kingsport. Used to drive hours to minor league cities to watch him. His debut was over-the-top exciting for me. Was very sad when he struggled but happy for him today too.
@marcellbrickey348 I partially mistyped/misspoke and also just didn't word what I was trying to say properly, which created some confusion. So that's my bad. Prime was on the 95 team. Strawberry arrived during the summer of 94. But by the time Sanders got to the Giants, Bonds was still there and Dusty, and that was it. What I was trying to say is that the giants were clearly building onto something and it would have been nice to see it through with all those guys from 94 to trickle into 95 and 96 and make a run. They had Willie Mcgee and Darren Lewis too. Royse Clayton, Matt Williams.
@@joojoobaw From a March 14, 2002 NY Post article "Former Yankee slugger Darryl Strawberry was bounced from a court-ordered drug-treatment program three days after he had sex with a female resident, according to a court report released yesterday. The eight-time All-Star had been put under a “behavior contract” at the Phoenix House residential rehab center last October after repeated rules infractions - which meant he had to shape up or be shipped out to jail. Despite the contract, Strawberry continued to flout the rules, according to court documents which detailed how he was caught: * Carrying unknown medications - and swallowing them before they could be checked by a staffer, whom he cursed out. * Kissing a female resident. * Being disruptive. Asked to leave a group seminar after interrupting another resident, he snarled at a counselor, “Cracker ass, kiss my ass. You’re not God.” * Smoking. The last straw came Saturday, when he had sex with a female resident - which he admitted Tuesday to his probation officer, court documents state. Strawberry was sent to Phoenix House last May for two years of rehab after he fled another court-ordered treatment program and went on a four-day drug binge. It was his fifth violation of probation since an April 1999 arrest for cocaine possession. He was told at the time that he had to complete the Phoenix House program to avoid an 18-month jail term. Strawberry’s wife, Charisse, was reluctant to discuss her husband’s latest fall from grace. THE LAST STRAW On March 12, 2002, Strawberry admitted to this officer that he had had sex with a female resident on March 9, 2002. On October 16, 2001 Strawberry was placed on a Phoenix House Behavior Contract, for breaking the following rules: * Smoking and supplying residents with cigarettes. * Having at least $140.00 cash on hand and giving money to residents in Primary and Phase II. * Having other residents purchase cigarettes and making telephone calls. * Autographing baseball cards and clothing. * Exchanging two (2) baseballs for cigarettes to a person outside the community. * Making indirect threats on several occasions. * Accepting cigarettes from his brother on a visit, when both were informed that any such transaction was not acceptable. * Misuse of telephone privilege. * Shaving his head against Program Rules. * Contracting and exploiting himself on others."

86 team had so many personalities. Talk about “The Good Bad & Ugly” On the field they were one lean fighting machine, all about clobbering the opposition. The owned NYC.
I'm 44 and grew up a baseball fan. I've been out of touch with baseball in the past 5-10 years though. I'm surprised to see in this interview dated only a month ago that Darryl Strawberry is still milking the attention from all this. I have listened all my life to this guy bragging/apologizing-still bragging about his past...have never cared to hear it. I'm happy that he overcame struggles, but there are many more interesting stories of both triumph and tragedy to be interested in.
@@jkb462 you know there are thousands of people in LA richer than professional athletes right. How is that so hard to fathom. You kids think these athletes are God's or something lol..
I’m so glad to see Strawberry overcome his demons. I grew up idolizing him and Gooden. Being cursed with Amazing talent which brought the Mets a World Series in 1986. But with great talent comes great responsibility (😅).
"280 Homers by age 29 & people were comparing you to Hank Aaron"... FACE PALM I always loved Strawberry, was one of my favorite players as a kid, but no rational person was "comparing him to Hank Aaron". Strawberry isn't even in the Top 20 for most HR's by age 29. A Rod hit over 400 HR's by age 29. Griffey Jr. hit 398 HR's by age 29, Jimmie Foxx hit 379 HR's by age 29. The point is nobody that knows anything about baseball was comparing Strawberry to the late, great Hank Aaron.
That was Strawberry's 9th season! At that time he had the 8th most Home Runs for someone in their first 9 seasons. Aaron had 298 with 900 more AB's. He wasn't far off! Aaron HR per AB was 17.81, Strawberry was 15.7, Junior was 15.6 with 294
@@CMD422 How does your response negate anything I said? I'm aware that it was his 9th season, but that's IRRELEVANT! The point is by AGE 29, how many seasons is completely irrelevant. Strawberry is currently 27th in most Homers by age 29, but even if I remove all 11 players that accomplished that AFTER the fact he'd still be OUTSIDE of the Top 15 in "most HR's by age 29" therefore making the comparison DUMB! There's a list of 16 players ahead of him on that list (at that time) & Strawberry had already been injury prone missing an average of 20 games per season (178 total in 9 seasons) which is a huge factor to a players ceiling so to think he was comparable to Hank Aaron knowing that a players careers starts to dip at the age of 30 just doesn't make sense. I get it that Strawberry was a prolific HR hitter through age 29, but comparing him to Hank Aaron who at that time had already retired hitting 755 HR's is just silly. Even as a kid (I was 10 years old at that time) I would've scoffed at the notion of comparing Strawberry to Hank Aaron because that comparison has to assume he's going to play 20+ season & keep pace even though Strawberry has already struggled to stay healthy & he was hitting the age where most players start a slow decline. FYI: your math is wrong (by age 29 ratio): Ruth: 3,567 AB/284 HR's = 12.55 Stanton: 4,253 AB/308 HR's = 13.81 Pujols: 5,146 AB/366 HR's = 14.06 Rodriguez: 5,958 AB/409 HR's = 14.56 Foxx: 5,551 AB/379 HR's = 14.64 Griffey Jr.: 5,832 AB/398 HR's = 14.65 Mantle: 5,518 AB/374 HR's = 14.75 Trout: 4,656 AB/310 HR's = 15.01 Strawberry: 4,408 AB/280 HR's = 15.74 Aaron: 5,940 AB/342 HR's = 17.36 There's way more I could include, but this is a list of some of the players on most HR's "by age 29" list. Also, no one is using HR's per AB (even though I think it's the true measure of best HR hitter) as the metric when making that comparison. What they were attempting /compare is how many HR's were hit by the age of 29. Hank Aaron didn't hit 755 HR's because his HR per AB ratio was the best as it's actually not even Top 20 All-Time. He hit 755 HR's because he played 22 seasons in the league & averaged 150 AB's per season/34 HR's. Aaron's longevity is what made his legacy, not his HR per AB ratio.
This guy was a true legend if it wasnt for the drugs he would had been a HOFer for sure hands down! He came thru for us in the postseason when he played for the Yankees
When I was 12, I started working with my uncle in San Francisco. He was a manager at a hotel. I did like maintenance n stuff. Had my own room all summer. Ever summer till I turned 18.
I saw Strawberry hit a massive HR at Shea in 1990. The next day on WFAN they had a call-in show asking fans to reminisce about the best dingers they’ve ever witnessed. I’m glad he got clean and he’s not a wreck like Dykstra.
Back in 2012 or 2013 or so I met him in an Applebees parking lot in St Charles, Mo lol (next county west of St Louis County). I think his mother lived there for a time maybe. Just walked up to him and said "Hello Mr. Strawberry." Talked for just a few. He asked me a couple questions about what I did ect. Nothing more than a min maybe as we were leaving. Being from St Louis, I am a huge baseball fan so I instantly knew who he was. As we were finishing up we shook hands and as he was leaving said "Nice hat" lol. Had my Cardinals hat on. (A team he did not like haha) Awesome guy. Hell of a player.
I met a very nice girl in Vegas. We went out for a couple of nights. She told me she use to be in a serious relationship with the Strawman. I didn't ask any details, we stayed in touch, but lost contact over the years.
Doc Gooden and Darryl created an eternal connection and great memories for NY Baseball fans. Even for us Yankee fans. For myself, it was the only period where I followed and attended Met games. For the youngsters, if they hadn't been caught up in the drug "war" in the 80's ( i.e when the U.S Gov't flooded black neighborhoods with drugs to finance international proxy wars for stealing resources) they both would likely have been Hall of famers. Straw who hit 335 while missing major parts of 6 seasons with drug and cancer problems had can't miss Hall of fame talents. Doctor K had HOF abilities too. I'm glad they will be honored at SHEA this year. ( a little Yankee fan dig😁)
Darryl was so multi talented ! ... his statement about chasing women and drugs being hand in hand certainly never worked for me .. since i only managed to find good relationships when i wasnt drunk or using drugs ?!
I own 42 rental properties , 2 car washes,a parking lot in the city and a carpet cleaning company. My wife is a perfusionist. She makes 180k a year. I have a 800k life insurance policy and she got a 780k life insurance policy. We also got over 300k in a 401k. So if my kids can’t do a future with that. I’m sorry. lol.

It was definitely a different time crack is the LAST thing I'd be on after signing 23 mill now coke that's a different story id be like Ken Griffey, Barry Bonds, and Babe all put together.
Crack and cocaine are the same damn thing. When your hooked on snorting cocaine you are better off smoking the sht as it is absolutely destroying your nose. Worst headaches you can imagine as your nose deteriorates. I've done both and was snorting an 8 ball a day for about a year. Told myself that I was either going to quit or start smoking.. couldn't take the pain anymore whole face hurt to the touch. Bloody noses daily your not sleeping just like a crack head. Same sht but worse honestly
His brother lived upstairs from my Dad in warner center apartments. Had girls over and Darryl was there half the time. Would party until 3am every night.
Growing up a fan of Strawberry; sadly I always associated his name w/ cocaine problems. Interesting to hear he consumed amphetamines (Adderall) during games; makes sense as the focus/concentration while batting would be lasered-in. I'm sure many players now use w/ a valid prescription.
the Mets told him to prove himself? he had already proved himself for nearly a decade almost as much as any player ever has for their time and was still in his prime. that doesn't make sense.
Great to see how much Mr. Strawberry has changed. Never too late to turn your life around.

"Former Yankee slugger Darryl Strawberry was bounced from a court-ordered drug-treatment program three days after he had sex with a female resident, according to a court report released yesterday.
The eight-time All-Star had been put under a “behavior contract” at the Phoenix House residential rehab center last October after repeated rules infractions - which meant he had to shape up or be shipped out to jail.
Despite the contract, Strawberry continued to flout the rules, according to court documents which detailed how he was caught:
* Carrying unknown medications - and swallowing them before they could be checked by a staffer, whom he cursed out.
* Kissing a female resident.
* Being disruptive. Asked to leave a group seminar after interrupting another resident, he snarled at a counselor, “Cracker ass, kiss my ass. You’re not God.”
* Smoking.
The last straw came Saturday, when he had sex with a female resident - which he admitted Tuesday to his probation officer, court documents state.
Strawberry was sent to Phoenix House last May for two years of rehab after he fled another court-ordered treatment program and went on a four-day drug binge.
It was his fifth violation of probation since an April 1999 arrest for cocaine possession.
He was told at the time that he had to complete the Phoenix House program to avoid an 18-month jail term.
Strawberry’s wife, Charisse, was reluctant to discuss her husband’s latest fall from grace.
THE LAST STRAW
On March 12, 2002, Strawberry admitted to this officer that he had had sex with a female resident on March 9, 2002.
On October 16, 2001 Strawberry was placed on a Phoenix House Behavior Contract, for breaking the following rules:
* Smoking and supplying residents with cigarettes.
* Having at least $140.00 cash on hand and giving money to residents in Primary and Phase II.
* Having other residents purchase cigarettes and making telephone calls.
* Autographing baseball cards and clothing.
* Exchanging two (2) baseballs for cigarettes to a person outside the community.
* Making indirect threats on several occasions.
* Accepting cigarettes from his brother on a visit, when both were informed that any such transaction was not acceptable.
* Misuse of telephone privilege.
* Shaving his head against Program Rules.
* Contracting and exploiting himself on others."

Pujols: 5,146 AB/366 HR's = 14.06
Rodriguez: 5,958 AB/409 HR's = 14.56
Foxx: 5,551 AB/379 HR's = 14.64
Griffey Jr.: 5,832 AB/398 HR's = 14.65
Mantle: 5,518 AB/374 HR's = 14.75
Trout: 4,656 AB/310 HR's = 15.01
Strawberry: 4,408 AB/280 HR's = 15.74
Aaron: 5,940 AB/342 HR's = 17.36
There's way more I could include, but this is a list of some of the players on most HR's "by age 29" list.
Also, no one is using HR's per AB (even though I think it's the true measure of best HR hitter) as the metric when making that comparison. What they were attempting /compare is how many HR's were hit by the age of 29. Hank Aaron didn't hit 755 HR's because his HR per AB ratio was the best as it's actually not even Top 20 All-Time. He hit 755 HR's because he played 22 seasons in the league & averaged 150 AB's per season/34 HR's. Aaron's longevity is what made his legacy, not his HR per AB ratio.
This guy was a true legend if it wasnt for the drugs he would had been a HOFer for sure hands down! He came thru for us in the postseason when he played for the Yankees
When I was 12, I started working with my uncle in San Francisco. He was a manager at a hotel. I did like maintenance n stuff. Had my own room all summer. Ever summer till I turned 18.
And your point is?
I saw Strawberry hit a massive HR at Shea in 1990. The next day on WFAN they had a call-in show asking fans to reminisce about the best dingers they’ve ever witnessed. I’m glad he got clean and he’s not a wreck like Dykstra.
As a kid i saw Willie Stargell hit one so far I'm not sure it landed yet.
Dam VLad is a savage when he needs to get from point A to point B in an interview. 😮
Back in 2012 or 2013 or so I met him in an Applebees parking lot in St Charles, Mo lol (next county west of St Louis County). I think his mother lived there for a time maybe. Just walked up to him and said "Hello Mr. Strawberry." Talked for just a few. He asked me a couple questions about what I did ect. Nothing more than a min maybe as we were leaving. Being from St Louis, I am a huge baseball fan so I instantly knew who he was. As we were finishing up we shook hands and as he was leaving said "Nice hat" lol. Had my Cardinals hat on. (A team he did not like haha) Awesome guy. Hell of a player.
I use to luv to see him play!!
He got the crack veteran jaw
He speaks at Church ⛪️ now in Georgia
Wonderful Individual
Good to see him healthy and wise
Dude is a legend and was always breaking bats, haha. We knew. Great to see the change
I have a strawberry jersey dude is a legend sad how his career ended up
Theo von: he could knock over a spice rack from a accross the room with one sniff 😅
NFL NBA MLB need to hire Strawberry to talk to the young athletes coming into the leagues
for Strawberry👍👍👍👍
"I live in LA man. I know I'm not invited to any cool parties because no one likes me"
I met a very nice girl in Vegas.
We went out for a couple of nights.
She told me she use to be in a serious relationship with the Strawman. I didn't ask any details, we stayed in touch, but lost contact over the years.
Strawberry and the AllState guy are brothers.
Fam still look high😂
He keep licking his lips
@@roncur 🤣
damn vlad , you know of him then he knows himself
Me at 4 am: I should go to bed.
TH-cam suggestion: Darryl Strawberry on Doing Crack After Joining LA Dodgers for $23M (Part 8)
Me: Why not? (click)
The Mets 1986 Dream Team was like something from the heavenly realm
When him Eric came to the dodgers I was so happy
Doc Gooden and Darryl created an eternal connection and great memories for NY Baseball fans. Even for us Yankee fans. For myself, it was the only period where I followed and attended Met games. For the youngsters, if they hadn't been caught up in the drug "war" in the 80's ( i.e when the U.S Gov't flooded black neighborhoods with drugs to finance international proxy wars for stealing resources) they both would likely have been Hall of famers. Straw who hit 335 while missing major parts of 6 seasons with drug and cancer problems had can't miss Hall of fame talents. Doctor K had HOF abilities too. I'm glad they will be honored at SHEA this year. ( a little Yankee fan dig😁)
Wild ass title lmao
He looks like Carl, Homer’s friend in the Simpsons
Darryl was so multi talented ! ... his statement about chasing women and drugs being hand in hand certainly never worked for me .. since i only managed to find good relationships when i wasnt drunk or using drugs ?!
He smoked his kids future away 😂😂😂
Hahahahaha your kids don't have one either though hahahahhaha
I own 42 rental properties , 2 car washes,a parking lot in the city and a carpet cleaning company. My wife is a perfusionist. She makes 180k a year. I have a 800k life insurance policy and she got a 780k life insurance policy. We also got over 300k in a 401k. So if my kids can’t do a future with that. I’m sorry. lol. And my kids go to one of the best high schools in the state. They won’t even need my money. Sooooo……@@joeshmoe2746
Imagine serving Gooden and Stawberry, still be living off that money
As you get older it’s not even worth chasing these Broads. Such a waste of time and $$$$$
Not Crack 😭😔😔😔....
Damn. Did the Mets win that deal. Sad. Love DS tho. NY
Vlad always asking about crack😅😅😅
My first baseball glove was a Darryl Strawberry glove.
I'll never understand why these athletes get married
It was definitely a different time crack is the LAST thing I'd be on after signing 23 mill now coke that's a different story id be like Ken Griffey, Barry Bonds, and Babe all put together.
How u figure that? 😂
EXACTLY…Crack is just to close to heroine in my mind fr…IT JUST DOES NOT LOOK INTRIGUING 😂😂That definitely wouldve never crossed my damn mind fr!
I would of smoked a blunt at the very most 😂 maybe a beer like man WTF
You might be on crack now thinking you'd be in the same place as those guys😂😂😂
Crack and cocaine are the same damn thing. When your hooked on snorting cocaine you are better off smoking the sht as it is absolutely destroying your nose. Worst headaches you can imagine as your nose deteriorates. I've done both and was snorting an 8 ball a day for about a year. Told myself that I was either going to quit or start smoking.. couldn't take the pain anymore whole face hurt to the touch. Bloody noses daily your not sleeping just like a crack head. Same sht but worse honestly
R.I.P. Renard.Young
His brother lived upstairs from my Dad in warner center apartments. Had girls over and Darryl was there half the time. Would party until 3am every night.
Seem like Vlad cant wait to ask the juicy questions, screwthe career. What about the drugs basically
He left this interview and went and met his old dealer. Now he’s selling a a radio.
😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀. Vlad ain't say shit this whole clip finally 😂
bp=batting practice
Vlad sounds like he's on crack in this interview. lol
Vlad be interviewing but telling you what you did. Most people ask. He just be trying to expose 😂
I played doubles pool all night with Daryl strawberry and his realtor in 2009 while in frisco Colorado.
We were playing for drinks. His drink of choice was jack and coke. And I paid for every single one. lol. Nice guy. Very competitive.
I asked him if anyone ever told him that he looked like Dwight Gooden. Lol
I fully understand this story booom whole body shuts downnn
Growing up a fan of Strawberry; sadly I always associated his name w/ cocaine problems. Interesting to hear he consumed amphetamines (Adderall) during games; makes sense as the focus/concentration while batting would be lasered-in. I'm sure many players now use w/ a valid prescription.
Legend
the Mets told him to prove himself? he had already proved himself for nearly a decade almost as much as any player ever has for their time and was still in his prime. that doesn't make sense.
So what he was an awesome player aint nobody walking this earth is perfect
Is it me or does strawberry look like dj Quick
Josh Hamilton went down a similar road.
Only know of this dude because of The Simpson’s.
Maybe the Mets wanted to make sure he was clean
I felt like a crack head after listening to this.
It's pretty delicious
