In a week that Major League Baseball has been on damage control with well loved veterans coming out to tell the public how disappointed they are in A-Rod's steroid admissions, what better a time for Darryl Strawberry to release some choice quotes from "Straw: Finding My Way," his upcoming book detailing the debaucherous bad boy Mets days of the 1980s. Strawberry makes the 1986 World Series champs sound more like a hair metal band of the era, having cocaine-fueled romps with women from the stands in between innings. The Post shares an anecdote from the book where the slugger says, "I was in the clubhouse, having one last quickie with this cute little Florida girl. Charlie Samuels, the equipment manager, came in and caught us. He just stood there shaking his head while I finished up." A couple of years back, a group of comedians at the Upright Citizens Brigade brought Strawberry in for a talk where he recounted tales of tag-teaming women.
