Darryl Strawberry’s lifelong struggle with addiction has been well documented at this point. So well documented, in fact, that there is a documentary about it: the excellent “30 For 30”, Doc & Darryl.
According to Darryl himself, the former eight-time all-star and four-time World Series champion would dabble in whatever he could get his hands on, saying he “could shoot dope, shoot heroin, smoke crack, drink alcohol, it didn’t matter.” So it should come as no surprise that sex was a part of that long list of addictions.
In an interview with Dr. Oz, Strawberry dove into the gritty details of his Major League career, confessing that he was so addicted to sex that he used to have sex during games — between innings — in the team clubhouse.
And not only was Strawberry laying pipe (shout out J.R. Smith) during games, but his teammates would even cover for him,
via Yahoo:
“It was a pretty crazy lifestyle. Middle of games? Yeah,” Strawberry told Dr. Oz. “I would go between innings, and stuff like that and run back and have a little party going on. I thought it was pretty cool. That’s the addiction.”
When asked about his teammates, Strawberry said matter of factly:
“Some of them covered for me,” he said.
This isn’t the first time Strawberry has discussed his sex addiction crossing into baseball. In the past, Strawberry has said that he would find women he liked in the stands and send clubhouse attendants to go talk to them for him, and that he’d have sex with them during games.
Strawberry, who is now an ordained minister, has made a full recovery and operates Strawberry Ministries, which lists its mission as “restoring lives and relationships.”
