I was a huge baseball/dodgers fan growing up and ran into Darryl Strawberry in my teens at Mission Viejo Mall. This was in the early 2000’s. I don’t think that many people recognized him because he was a little surprised to see this young teen know who he was. This was before social media and smartphones. He shook my hand and spoke for a minute and was very kind. Will never forget that.
Shooting dope ?! Sheeit I didn’t know Daryl went that far down the hole . It’s great he’s been able to pull himself out of that hell and he looks great
Growing up in the UK, I used to hear about this guy called Darryl Strawberry back in the day. Followed him ever since. One of the legends of the game and a true icon. You look well bro, respect!🙏
Darryl Strawberry is really a cautionary tale of an athlete that didn’t reach his full Potential because of his own issues and problems.The player of his caliber was super duper underrated so sad. didn’t reach career he could have had.
Without the addiction, he and Gooden are first ballot Hall of Famers. In Straw's case, every time he came back from an arrest or rehab, he'd tear the cover off the ball. Imagine him just playing without the interruptions. Glad he is alive, well and enjoying life.
@@bigshanegillis9376 If he didn’t have all those off the field issues along with his drug problems and alcohol problems and baby mama problems and women problems he legit would’ve been a top 10 to 5 player of all time he was one of the greatest hitter as I’ve seen people forget the foyer scratch you can make a case that Darryl strawberry was the best hitter there ever was.
In 95. When he was with the yankees.i sat in right field. They played the As..he and big Mac. Mark McGwire. Homered. Great day.... That old Yankees stadium was off the chain 😂
it sounds cliche but i think a big part of recovery is doing stuff for other people and the community to get outside yourself and expect nothing in return - it can make you feel good and useful - good content
This man’s accomplishments were briefly touched on in this interview but everything negative, Vlad has went in depth about. If my brothers don’t see that he absolutely profits off our lowest or weakest moments then ur blind af
You're a hater. Unless you don't understand English, they both said, Superstar, 4 rings, accomplished everything that you can ask for in a sports career. And all the haters, don't tune in, watch something else.
He asks about what people are interested in. Vlad knows nothing about baseball and his target audience isn't baseball fans. It's not gonna be a 2 hour interview about baseball.
His first wife was beautiful. As a NYer I Never watched ⚾ then I buy the paper and see his picture front page busted for drugs. I remember thinking, who is this guy?? Then I knew his story. I wish him well
He was talking about being a drug addiction on probation. He was never going to get clean and his probation kept restarting with violations. It was a cycle
@@kevinkev9996 There's plenty of drugs in jail, bro. Often guards are paid off to allow them in, or they sell dope themselves. Strawberry just wasn't ready for sobriety.
@@Stephan-my9gy the content is 🔥🔥🔥that’s why we all here. The voice though, Sound like a dog whistle with that high frequency. You can’t un -hear it. But shout out to a true legend strawberry. The world needed to here this one. Keep em coming. 💪🏾💪🏾
Always rooted for the Straw, but how many times can one man let you down before you turn your back on them? Wish him the best but I wouldn’t and won’t be surprised when the next incident happens.
There is an expression called "wheelhouse", and u will understand when u search on Strawberry's name, and watch him swing as a young man. Normally, the way to get a batter out is to throw (pitch) the ball close to him (that is, inside), but still over the inside edge of home plate. However, and surprisingly, such a pitch was inside Daryl's wheelhouse. And he would strike the ball at its center with a bat speed that well exceeded 100 m.p.h. U won't be able to track the path of the bat. It's just a blur. I heard it from the stands in 1982 when Daryl was a high school senior. It's a thunderous thwACK! sound.
@@ktothec24he obviously wasted a ton of his talent and so did Gooden. Not sure why you're saying he didn't. He does seem to be in a very good place now.

I met him in Florida back in 2016 at the Orlando/Melbourne international airport and yes he was nice.
I saw him at a 7 11 store in NJ. He could not be more cordial. He was a great player and clutch
NYC always loved and rooted for Darrel Strawberry glad to see he’s in a better place he deserves it, he gave us so much 👊
I met him on a couple occasions and Darryl was one of the coolest,nicest most down to earth gracious baseball players I have ever met.
He was one of my Favoriten baseball players growing up
Me too but he messed up his career like nobody’s business
He wasn't one of my favorites. He WAS MY FAVORITE!!!!!
No he wasn’t btch
Eric, I hated Strawberry playing with the Mets. going against my Cubs...but I respected him being a GREAT ball player.
Me to
He looks clean. Amen 🙌🙏
Shooting dope ?! Sheeit I didn’t know Daryl went that far down the hole . It’s great he’s been able to pull himself out of that hell and he looks great
glad u made it through the storm bro 🙏

He looks good

Still had like an 18 year career and played on multiple championship teams. Imagine if the addiction DIDNT exist
Stfu. He’s a tale of a person who overcame more in life than your weak ass.

@@davruck1pretty funny calling someone weak but acting like a drug addict wasn't extremely weak.
Strawberry said a mouth full. when he said, this is a wicked system...oh WE KNOW.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time
I was 5 seconds clean…😂💯
That was horrible what he had to go through with the two surgeries and chemo.
Watch the full interview now as a VladTV RUclips Member - ruclips.net/user/vladtvjoin
He is a solid individual and was a tremendous baseball player. He made a few very bad decisions but he has showed how strong he really is.
He always looked so clean and perfect
You gotta do the work if you wanna get well. Realest statement right there
i still wore and wear my Strawberry 44 hat
One of my favorite players ever!! The Straw!!!!
Strawberry was the first baseball player that I was a super fan of, he was so smooth in the mid 80’s. I’m happy he’s at peace with life now.
Always liked him. Everyone does but I have a new respect for him now
This man deserves to be forgiven by MLB. It’s called Grace.
In 95. When he was with the yankees.i sat in right field. They played the As..he and big Mac. Mark McGwire. Homered. Great day.... That old Yankees stadium was off the chain 😂
This is definitely one of Vlad's better interviews.
He dropped a 💎 gem 🆙📶🛜🛜Take ya time lil one 🙌🏽🏫📨💯
Got a framed picture of him in the dodgers uniform in my gym
it sounds cliche but i think a big part of recovery is doing stuff for other people and the community to get outside yourself and expect nothing in return - it can make you feel good and useful - good content
Years from now. The senior committee will put him in the hall of fame. He deserves it. It's great to see what he has done for his life after baseball
How much Vlad be paying for these exclusives? Dude have the best people on.
Not a dime

He is not forcing anybody to come on or view it either.
When baseball ⚾ was good!
Rock bottom has a basement
His first wife was beautiful.
As a NYer I Never watched ⚾ then I buy the paper and see his picture front page busted for drugs. I remember thinking, who is this guy??
Then I knew his story.
I wish him well
This dudes the shit
Thought this was Denzel 😂😂😂
We love ya straw
They brought you to your knees without true knowledge
Strawberry said he didn't want DOC controlling him, but he went to jail for 12 months.
He was talking about being a drug addiction on probation. He was never going to get clean and his probation kept restarting with violations. It was a cycle
@@kevinkev9996 There's plenty of drugs in jail, bro. Often guards are paid off to allow them in, or they sell dope themselves. Strawberry just wasn't ready for sobriety.
🙏🏾
💔
Why would anyone think goin to prison = people won't have control over them? Make that make sense.
You just don't understand.
@@gee1081 and you can't make it make any sense
@@calmnrelaxedprobation you have to check in with them and they can drug test you endlessly. Then they can extend it over any “violation.
@davruck1 what can they do to you in prison???
Guess.
Vlad be thinking he gone get his guest to talk bad about themselves 😂
"Lol" is dated
This whole thing was like watching a slow train wreck...
Ej quil kould play him
💪🏽
never heard an interviewer with a more annoying voice than Vlad
Yeah it’s like his mic is set to the get on your nerves frequency
Yeah over and over again, but y'all come right back to watch.

I’ve only seen Strawberry on Simpsons….
There is an expression called "wheelhouse", and u will understand when u search on Strawberry's name, and watch him swing as a young man.

What a waste of talent. He had the sweetest swing and Gooden the sweetest delivery.
Waste ?! He still had a great career . But he’s also human with human flaws . He’s going great now and looks great
@@ktothec24he obviously wasted a ton of his talent and so did Gooden. Not sure why you're saying he didn't.
He does seem to be in a very good place now.
What's wrong with his mouth?
