the rest of the Yankees said “they won it for him.” After the season Darryl was struggling with his cancer and recuperation, and I can understand that it is not easy, and I can understand his reason for depression, however what befuddled me is how he can go back to what corrupted his life. Now maybe it’s not as hard to kick the habit, or maybe it’s impossible for me to relate to his situation, however for a man to come out and ask for apologies and plead his case to the public, after all of our sympathy from the team, the media, and even the fans, where does he stand a chance in life? Do I feel bad for Darryl…yes I do; however I do not believe that he should continue to plead his case to the public for support. How many times are we going to “believe” that he is sorry, or “believe” that he won’t do it again? As for myself, I don’t think he ever will. He has been busted for drug charges over 3 times in the span of less than 10 months. And now being banned from baseball for a year, and after violating his probation again and again, where is a man like him to go with his life? I do feel saddened that a man with that much natural talent and that much to accomplish, has been exhausted mentally, physically, and psychologically by this evil powder. Where will his career be headed? Will he ever make mends to his actions? I honestly highly doubt it, but I guess we can all look at this as not necessarily a “man, who went to ruin his life,” but rather as a “man who was corrupted by an evil.”...
