Darryl Strawberry

Couple of weeks ago, i was just remembering the time I started to like baseball. Back in 1991, when I moved from New York, to California, one of my favorite NY Mets player, Darryl Strawberry moved along with me to the LA Dodgers. (not literally WITH me but you know what I mean). But it eased my move to California as I had a familiar figure haha.

Yesterday after watching some Mail Call (Military History stuff), I was flipping through some nightly news and ended up at the Tavis Smiley show, and lo and behold, it was Darryl Strawberry.

What do you know, he is now Christian. He said that once he committed his life to God, he was able to get rid of drugs, sex, money, etc from his life. He went to church 3x a week, read the Bible everyday, and had an amazing relationship with Jesus.

He says that him going to jail was "God's wake up call to him."

He has a book out titled "Straw" that goes into details, I might pick up the book. I love personal stories. He says his book is about redemption, salvation for him, and an inspirational book.

"why don't you try for yourself who God is... it is a personal commitment... it is not about what people think... my commitment is to the Lord, I don't care what other people think, I care about what God thinks."

Go God, bringing another soul into the kingdom!
