Strawberry writing memoir

Former Yankee and Met Darryl Strawberry is writing a memoir that is scheduled to come out next year, according to publisher Ecco. The book is titled "Straw."

According to Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins, Strawberry’s book “details his life growing up in Crenshaw, Los Angeles, his rise to baseball superstardom as a Met, Dodger, and Yankee, 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.”

Strawberry has always been an interesting figure in New York sports, so this memoir could be worth reading. Strawberry is currently working as a pre- and post-game analyst on SNY, the Mets' cable network.
