Can you name an athlete that is a bigger disappointment than......................

Daryl Strawberry
8 time All-Star with one if not the best looking swing ever. 3 World Series rings and now he is going to serve 18 months in the big house for violating his parol for the 6th time!!!!!

Problem is this stint in jail probably is going to make his situation worse than it already is. Supposably he hasn't used drugs in over a year but prison will probably change all that for him.

Mike Tyson with ease.

 

[The Shadow]

True.

Could have been an all-time great power hitter

Tyson is up there, but he still had a decent career.

Dwight Gooden?

Otis Nixon was fast as hell but got busted every 15 minutes for coke - just when he was about to have a bust out season, away he went again.

Will Clark - not because of drugs or alcohol - but just b/c he used to be so amazing and then he got bad and just remained a total asshole.

baseball is all I really know and even then it is all circa 1989, which would be when I stopped really caring.

Todd marinovich has them both beat. His mom was given special vitamins in the womb so that she could breed a super baby... and he was a life long experiment from the moment he was born in how to raise a super human being... and all he turned out to be was a beer drinking crack head who played on a couple B teams.

Gino Toretta.

Strawberry is a specimen for sure, and he did fulfill his potential as an athlete, like you said, he has 3 rings.

As a human being however, he has sunk to the lowest of lows.

Just goes to show you that someone who seemingly has everything one could want out of life, (physical specimen, skill, talent, riches, lifestyle of the rich and famous), can be a very very unhappy person.
