Produktbeschreibung
"Darryl has written a profound book on the meaning of celebrity, sports and manhood . . . a riveting and memorable account." - David Cone Former 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, Strawmakes for good reading." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch
