Darryl Strawberry, a former Mets player, now serves as a traveling preacher, delivering a sermon focused on addiction, fatherhood, and faith. He acknowledges his struggles with addiction and legal issues during his baseball career. Strawberry emphasizes that wealth does not resolve personal problems, stating, "If you think money is going to solve the problem, it doesn't." He and his wife founded Strawberry Ministries and aim to help others rather than seek fame. The sermon drew many attendees, including those wearing Mets jerseys in support of Strawberry's legacy in baseball.
"Being so young and thrust into the New York spotlight, don't get me wrong, I loved it. But celebrities, most of us are broken."
"If you think money is going to solve the problem, it doesn't. It helps you get any lawyer, doctor ... But it's still just a Band-Aid."
"I'm not chasing after fans, fortune ... I want souls to be saved," Strawberry said in his sermon at the church.
"I know I'm here for a reason; this is your season to be here, too," he told the congregation.
