Darryl Strawberry: From Baseball Legend to Redemption

Darryl Strawberry

Darryl Strawberry, one of baseball's most iconic sluggers, returns to share his rawest reflections on addiction, cancer, and starting over. He answers the question many face when a career or identity collapses: who am I now? Ed Mylett opens up about imposter syndrome, and together they explore how pain and service uncover hidden gifts. Strawberry recounts the peace that came when he told God he was ready for whatever happened on the operating table, and the dugout tension of Game 6 in 1986 gets a long-awaited retelling.
