The Straw That Stirs The Clink

Meet Darryl Strawberry. Years ago, he was an All-Star baseball player. Now he's just another guy with a growing rap sheet. Yesterday (3/12), he celebrated his 40th birthday by getting tossed out of a court-ordered drug rehab program for breaking a slew of treatment center rules (everything from sex with a female resident to exchanging autographed baseballs for cigarettes). This is the umpteenth time Strawberry has violated probation, terms of which were set following his May 1999 drugs/hooker conviction. Most recently, the former outfielder violated his probation in February 2000 and March 2001. For memorabilia collectors, here's Darryl's latest mug shot and the three-page probation violation report.
