Darryl Strawberry – författare

"Darryl has written a profound book on the meaning of celebrity, sports and manhood . . . a riveting and memorable account." —David ConeFormer New York Met and Yankee slugger Darryl Strawberry has subtitled his autobiography Straw, "Finding My Way"—and his path was never easy. A National League Rookie of the Year, eight-time MLB All Star, and four-time World Series Champion, Strawberry''s baseball achievements were often overshadowed by his struggles off the field. In Straw, he tells it all: his boyhood in Crenshaw, Los Angeles; his rise to baseball superstardom; the high life and low life; his brushes with the law; his triumphant battle over cancer; his religious awakening, and his marriage to the love of his life."Straw is the story of a guy who had two strikes against him in the middle innings of life and hit one out of the park." —Reggie Jackson"Straw [has] the virtue of sincerity and of seeming profoundly felt. Its narrator emerges as a real and complex man: humble in the face of his failures, palpably hungry for redemption, and yet still capable of myopia and self-righteousness. You feel for him in a way you never did—at least I never did—when you were merely cheering and/or booing him at Shea." —The New York Times"If you''re looking for an interesting book about a chaotically interesting life, Straw makes for good reading." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

With four World Series rings, baseball legend Darryl Strawberry is one of the greatest hitters in the long history of the New York Mets, with a home-run record that held for 37 years. But Darryl's success on the baseball field came hand-in-hand with personal challenges that included substance abuse, divorces, cancer, and jail time. Two decades ago, he overcame the demons brought on by his childhood traumas and found true redemption and restoration. Today, as an ordained Minister of the Gospel, his purpose and passion is helping others transform their lives. Another Life takes readers on the road with Darryl as he travels around the country with his son Jordan, preaching 270 days a year at motivational conferences and churches, and in schools, prisons, and hospitals. Strawberry's life experiences show us that we all can heal what's broken and hurting on the inside, and that our physical health is as important as our emotional and spiritual health. In these pages, he reflects on the invaluable lessons he's learned - and the deep-rooted values and principles he's gained - through hard experience, the powerful living examples of his mother Ruby and wife Tracy, and his eventual acceptance of Christ's unconditional love. Everyone knows Darryl Strawberry as the home-run king. Another Life shares Darryl's true legacy as a minister, father, and a believer in restoration, redemption, and starting over.
