Sole Free with Harlan Friedman - Darryl Strawberry

from Sole Free - Sneakers & Culture · host Harlan Friedman

Darryl Strawberry gets personal about the brotherhood, belief and never-quit mentality that made the 1986 New York Mets World Series champions.Speaking with Harlan Friedman at the team’s 40th-anniversary celebration, Strawberry explains why the ’86 Mets were far more than the “bad boys” portrayed in the headlines. When they stepped onto the field, they were united, focused and convinced they were never out of a game.Strawberry also reflects on the enduring legacy of Gary Carter, helping his brother and teammate Lenny Dykstra rebuild his life, and why everyone deserves the opportunity to reinvent themselves.The Mets legend then discusses his book Another Life and the work he now does in prisons, schools, hospitals, churches and communities across the country—using his story to inspire people struggling through life’s darkest moments.“We did it, and nobody can ever take that away from us.”Watch this powerful conversation about baseball, brotherhood, redemption and discovering a greater purpose beyond the game.Subscribe to Sole Free with Harlan Friedman for more conversations at the intersection of sports, sneakers and culture.#DarrylStrawberry #1986Mets #NewYorkMets #LGM #SoleFreeEXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Harlan Friedman and Donna DrakePRODUCER/EDITOR: Robin C.
