Darryl Strawberry, Former Major League Baseball Player, Co-Founder, Darryl Strawberry Recovery Center (DSRC)

Darryl Strawberry is described as a legend by many who have been dazzled by the dynamics of his game, the power he possessed at the plate and the story of redemption that continues to bring hope to so many lives. He has earned the legendary nicknames and phrases of one of the most feared homerun hitters in the game of baseball, Straw’s Sweet Swing, Strawberry’s Field Forever and The Legendary Straw Man!  A four-time World Series champion, Strawberry founded the Darryl Strawberry Recovery Center (DSRC), located in St. Cloud, Fla., in partnership with Oglethorpe Healthcare Inc.   Together with his wife Tracy, Strawberry has also started a Christian recovery program at Oglethorpe's behavioral hospital in Longview, Texas.

Strawberry says his past experiences, both good and bad, have brought him to where he is today: “My strength and the reason that I am here today is proven through the experiences and conditions I have endured. The spikes are in a box, the bat is retired but the true passion and purpose for my life is just beginning. That passion is being able to make a difference in the lives of others. Today I have hope, a hope I want to instill in others.”
