Drug issues, legal issues, and cancer. Amazing he hit as well as he did as long as he did. Guy was a generational talent. Obviously didn't fulfill his potential.

Agree HOFer that sabotaged his own career with Drugs and other issues. Also a Great person.
Met him at a HOF induction ceremony and he was signing autographs and dale Murphy next table over (for money of course). WE were waiting online and we were at His table and because Dale was signing real slow we just waited. During the wait Darryl was talking to my sign and I, signed extra things (no extra charge) and did some pictures with my son and I. and He looked in Game shape.
