About Darryl Strawberry
- Darryl Eugene Strawberry (born March 12, 1962) is an American former professional baseball right fielder and author who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB).
- Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Strawberry was one of the most feared sluggers in the sport, known for his prodigious home runs and his intimidating presence in the batter's box with his 6-foot-6 frame and his long, looping swing that elicited comparisons to Ted Williams'.During his career, he helped lead the New York Mets to a World Series championship in 1986 and the New York Yankees to three World Series championships in 1996, 1998 and 1999.
- He was also suspended three times by MLB for substance abuse, leading to many narratives about his massive potential going unfulfilled.
- A popular player during his career, Strawberry was voted to the All-Star Game eight straight times from 1984–1991.
- Strawberry was formerly an analyst for SportsNet New York.
- His memoir, Straw: Finding My Way, written in collaboration with author John Strausbaugh, was published on April 28, 2009, by Ecco Press.
