05/01/2007 | Reggie Jackson once angered Thurman Munson, Billy Martin, and other Yankees by referring to himself as " the straw that stirs the drink." Meet "The Straw that snorts the lines." There were times when it seemed as if Strawberry was a great Cooperstown bound player, he had a lot of natural talent, and when you saw him in his prime with The Mets, he just looked like a natural #1 pick. Very gifted player, for a time one of the best players to watch, but the drugs took that away. He wasn't bad with the Dodgers and Yankees, but so much potential just pissed away...

04/30/2007 | Almost the prototype of the million dollar airport with the two-bit control tower, Strawberry had several productive seasons before his legion of personal flaws caught up to him.
There was a time when he appeared headed for a first ballot hall of fame career, but he managed to derail that train.
