Darryl Strawberry and Vlad talked about the pivotal role good women play in a man's life. Having grown up in South Central L.A., a gang-intense neighborhood, Strawberry reflected on his time in prison, maintaining that his background made it easy for him to blend in. Strawberry saluted his wife Tracy for being different from other women he met and credited her for opening his eyes to the dangerous fascination of material things and fancy lifestyles. Tracy's influence helped Strawberry to navigate through prison and rise above his troubled past, transforming him into a better human being. The former baseball star also journeyed back in his professional career, affirming that after retiring, the Mets organization still embraced him. However, he credits his wife for helping him to fully transition out of his baseball identity and champion a new life direction.
