More Lascivious Details About the 86 Mets

If you didn't get enough in "The Bad Guys Won" you can get even more dirt about the best team in the history of baseball in a new book by Darryl Strawberry.

In "Straw: Finding My Way," due out in April, Darryl describes the 86 Mets:

"We were the boys of summer. The drunk, speed-freak, sneaking-a-smoke boys of summer...[An] infamous rolling frat party . . . drinking, drugs, fights, gambling, groupies."

Beer "was the foundation of our alcoholic lifestyle," he writes. "We hauled around more Bud than the Clydesdales. The beer was just to get the party started and maybe take the edge off the speed and coke."

The team's mantra on the road, he writes, was to "tear up your best bars and nightclubs and take your finest women...The only hard part for us was choosing which hottie to take back to your hotel room. Lots of times you...picked two or three."

Although he doesn't name names, Strawberry relates how team members picked out girls from the stands for quickies. He once watched a pitcher march a frisky fan to a private room for oral sex: "I was jealous. When I saw her heading back to her seat, I gave her a sign. She smiled, turned right back around, and met me in that same little room...I had to be quick and run back out on the field."

SCZA wants to know how its possible for a guy to have a quickie between innings. I think it's possible if he made the last out of the previous inning, he has about 2 minutes between innings, plus the whole time his team is up (maybe he asks the guys to take some pitches or step out), that should give him a total of 8 to 10 minutes which should be more than enough. Obviously a starting pitcher on his off day and a DH or even a bench player, are the best candidates to receive in game blow jobs, but I think a position player could make it work.
