This isn’t exactly a shocking revelation.

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.

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.

It is to me. What kind of manager would put up with such nonsense? This is the team’s image here. Not some playboy’s.
