He'll be joining the Mets temporarily as a special instructor during spring training. Who would've thunk it?

    Special instructor, you know:

    *Where to get the best cocaine for the money in NYC

    *Best motels for hookers

    *How to drive a Porsche when loaded

    *finding lawyers who specialize in representing overpaid playboys who can't stay out of trouble

    *posing for mugshots

    he could be quite beneficial to all those rookies comin' into the big city!

    I saw him recently at a local breakfast joint.

    As my kids and I were walking out I said hello to him. He acknowledged me and began talking to my kids. He's a friendly guy and I appreciated him taking the time to talk to us.

    You're not the first poster to have an experience like that. Someone, a while back, saw him at an airport I think I he was quite conversational and even asked if they wanted to take a pic with him

    Couldn't tell you why but I've always liked Darryl.

    Cheered his achievements and sympathized with his struggles.

    I can't say that for almost all athletes who go astray.

    Oh what might have been? But he was still a heck of a player in his prime, even with performance decreasing drugs. Imagine if he and Gooden had decided to take steroids and HGH instead of Coca Cola... that should be a Marvel Comics ”What if?”
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!

    We all take different paths, but as long as we get to where we need to be, we are winners...
