Not to be outdone by the NFL and their "Take a Player to School" contest, MLB.com is offering you the chance to take Darryl Strawberry to school for an appearance of up to one hour.

This auction features the opportunity to have Darryl Strawberry come to YOUR school! The winning bidder of this auction will have the chance to have New York Legend Darryl Strawberry attend your school for a special appearance for up to an hour. Strawberry will also give a short speech to your school on valubable life lessons. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to have a super star like Daryl Strawberry come to YOUR school!

The opening bid was $250 and the current bid is... $260. Just for the sake of Strawberry's self esteem, people better start bidding up this auction. (Remember, this is a guy who once told a judge he'd lost the will to live.) For a guy who used to make millions, if the price people are willing to pay for his appearance is less than what you'd take out of an ATM before a big Saturday night.... man that's just sad.
