To Fight or Not? That Is the Question

After the Dodgers’ brawl (June 10) against the Padres, Darryl Strawberry said he stayed on the bench because he couldn’t afford to hurt his back by getting in a fight.

I’m so glad his back healed so much in five days to allow him to involve himself in Tuesday’s brawl with the Rockies.

With that salary, can’t he afford a secretary or something to help him keep straight just when exactly it is that he is hurt and when he is not.
