Steinbrenner will probably bail him out again......*sigh*
Darryl Strawberry was sentenced to 18 months in prison Monday for violating his probation on a 1999 conviction on drug and solicitation of prostitution charges.
Dressed in an orange jail-issued uniform, the 40-year-old former major league slugger said his "life is going in the right direction." He had been held at the Hillsborough County Jail since March awaiting sentencing.
"I would just like to get this behind me. I would like to do my 18 months and move on," Strawberry said. "I don't want to have this over my head."
He smiled slightly when Retired Judge Ralph Steinberg said he hopes Strawberry will return to baseball one day.
