    Strawberry was in the popular Simpsons episode "Home at the Bat", which was given as showrunner Al Jean as the being one of the top 5 essential episodes.

    Aired 32 years ago last month, and yet all the baseball personalities featured in it are still breathing to my surprise. Strawberry has had an awful record of health but has lingered on. 

    Wade Boggs, 66, had pneumonia in 2020 but seems to be quite healthy
    Jose Canseco, 60, ex-steroid user, multiple "minor" health issues, multiple arrests and legal problems over the years
    Roger Clemens, 62 – some rough patches surrounding adultery allegations in the 2000s, now obese
    Ken Griffey Jr., 55 – attempted suicide in 1988
    Don Mattingly, 63 – chronic back injuries during career but otherwise healthy
    Steve Sax, 64 – son killed in 2022
    Mike Scioscia, 66 – now obese
    Ozzie Smith, 70 – seems to be in great health, owns a string of health clinics
    Darryl Strawberry, 62 – survived colon cancer which spread to lymph nodes and kidney, multiple arrests, legal troubles, drug abuse, and now a heart attack
    Terry Cashman, 83 (singer of "Talkin' Softball")

    Don Mattingly is currently the bench coach for the Toronto Blue Jays. Has access to professional medical services.
