No, not Javy and Burnett deciding to be stay-at-home-dads for the playoffs, but players who have failed us in life. Here is a list of 23 athletes who have made their way from the court (or other sporting locations) to the slammer.
Doc's cousin made it.
Darryl Strawberry:
Darryl Strawberry was one of the best sluggers in baseball in the 1980s. Coming up with the Mets he won the 1984 Rookie of the Year award, was the best hitter on the 1986 World Champion Mets, and an 8 time All-Star. But his talent was never fully realized, thanks to a number of off-field issues. Strawberry had issues with cocaine, which culminated in his suspension in 1995, and a 1999 arrest for soliciting sex from a prostitute and possession of cocaine. Strawberry was fortunate, though, as he's been able to turn his life around. He met his current wife, Linda, while in rehab and currently works as an analyst for the home of the Mets, SNY.
