Strawberry takes a swing at ‘Apprentice’

One of baseball’s greatest sluggers, Darryl Strawberry, spent some of his darkest days in Tampa. This is the place where his life crashed and his career ended.
After 17 years in baseball, his last stop was with the New York Yankees. He helped them win the 1998 World Series.
But colon cancer, drug abuse and fast living caught up with him. A series of embarrassing arrests here between 1999 and 2002 – for cocaine possession, soliciting for prostitution and violating probation – tarnished the image of the once cocky hitter for the New York Mets who was a hero in the 1980s.
It is an older, wiser, sober, born-again Christian Strawberry who will be back in the spotlight Sunday night on NBC as one of the contenders on Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”
