“Between innings. It worked out well just how crazy it was,” Strawberry added. “It kind of worked out that way. You point (a woman) out and tell the kid (to go get her).”
By “the kid,” Strawberry means a clubhouse attendant. In his Sirius XM interview, Strawberry also talked about drinking in the clubhouse and smoking cigarettes in the dugout. Oh, to be a baseball player in the ’80s.

This isn’t exactly a shocking revelation.
Won’t watch it, ..... “Does he have a pot to piss in?”
Woman.
Yeah, right
Was he the pitcher, or the catcher?
It’s shocking how quickly a woman will become a slut for a famous man.
That’s what they said about Babe Ruth, they said he could have even hit more home runs, if he’d only cut down on the smoking, and the drinking, and the sex.....especially between innings.
His Louisville Slugger has served him well.
Yes the fact that sports figures are often low class pigs isn’t a news flash.
I was around it in my early twenties with the Miami Dolphins. My first husband and I socialized with some of them and it was a real turnoff to me.
FIFY
I can remember reading somewhere about that that 1986 New York Mets team should have won one or even two more World Series titles but ones Strawberry and Dwight Gooden basically pissed all of that away with their booze and drugs.
Wonderful.
Exactly. He wasn’t the only Met either. That ‘86 team was seriously messed up which is likely why they only won one world series.
Cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, alcohol and sex were all completely common place. Strawberry was on the radio this AM and said he took amphetamines every day to play baseball but never played on cocaine, which was only for the weekends.
He may have played small ball.
See my post at 13. Very true, except it wasn’t only them. Dykstra, Hernandez, Jefferies, were all a mess. (among others I can’t remember)
Then there was the infamous case of Dock Ellis pitching a no-hitter on LSD.
I have the Darryl Strawberry baseball glove by Rawlings circa 1980 or something I didn’t know who he was when I bought it, I just liked the glove. Still do.
“Ed Kranepool - he once borrow Chico’s soap and no give it back”
Took my son to spring training. While at a game he met a boy who was sitting with his dad in the first row above the dugout, and my son got to go sit with them - essentially right next to the players. When we got back we were playing catch in the front yard and he asked me if I had ever wanted to be a professional baseball player. I said, “Yes, definitely”. He asked “Doesn't it take all your time in order to make it?” I said “It definitely takes a lot of time and dedication.” He said “That explains a lot. When I was listening to the players talking they sounded just like my third grade class.”
