His prime surfaces countless questions, none more prominent than this hypothetical: What would’ve happened had he stayed away from drugs and alcohol? Darryl Strawberry’s rise to stardom occurred just as quickly as his fall from grace. Darryl Strawberry was one of the greatest talents in baseball history. His power speed skillset is a rare combo that is anything but ubiquitous.

My favorite player growing up. I had Darryl Strawberry everything. I even sent him a letter when I was 9 years old and he sent me an autographed photo and a Mets team photo. And when he got traded to the Dodgers, I sent him another letter and he sent me a Dodgers photo and a Dodgers team photo

@TheFrenchPug 11 месяцев назад

Before I was drafted. I was able to pitch against Darryl before he left for Spring Training at a rare pro prep / college game. I threw him 2 pitches. A first pitch change up that embarrassingly floated high and outside, and then a fastball down and in. He hit it so hard to our 2nd baseman that it ate him up so badly Darryl was easily able to get to first base. He then took the biggest lead at first I'd ever seen. I used my best move and picked him off. He was pissed. Went to the dugout, packed his stuff up, and left. Two weeks later, it was reported that he had beaten his wife up and was on drugs.

I worked the opening at his restaurant in Queens in 2010. His wife Tracy was a sweetheart. Darryl was definitely a guy who found it hard to say no, a bad habit in 1980s NYC. His brothers are great. Ronny is hilarious and his older brother, Michael, was LAPD and actually shot in the leg during the Rodney King riots. He managed the restaurant for a while and was a stand up dude. Most of the 2010 Yankees showed up during the private opening, along with Doc, Tino, Bernie, Dykstra (pre-indictment), Salt-n-Pepa, John Starks, and I got to meet Gary Carter that night - about 8 months prior to his death from brain cancer. Needless to say, its still one of the most surreal nights of my life as a NY sports fan.

Statistically, his first eight seasons in the league were comparable to Reggie Jackson's. Not only his numbers, but he carried the Mets' offense in the 80s. Without the off-field issues, he would have eclipsed 500 home runs and would have made the HOF easily.

@Cam23 11 месяцев назад

@jsd795 11 месяцев назад

@DaDitka 11 месяцев назад

I remember him as a kid. He was a scary hitter from 1983-1991, and a quality outfielder. If only he could have kept it clean. I have always thought of him as being baseball's answer to William "The Refrigerator" Perry. Both of them had such great talent and both of them just let it slip away because of carelessness and ego.

@mattb.4333 11 месяцев назад

I watched Strawberry for the short time he was at the single A Mets team back in the early 80s. I was only about 5-6 years old at the time and the single A team that tiny town had trouble filling stands even with the likes of future greats like Dykstra, Gooden, and Strawberry making stops along the way. I would stand beside the dugout and watch the players before and during the game. Strawberry had to have been about 17 years old but I distinctly remember both he and particularly Gooden being very kind even though they were teens. Many of the players would give me practice balls and cracked bats and Strawberry and Gooden did too. In my 40s now, I still have those bats and balls but no one probably believes me that a few of them were given to me by two of the best players of their generation. I was lucky to see those guys play before they hit the big league and I still have a soft spot for them, even through all of the ups and downs with legal trouble they both had.

Strawberry was as gifted as they came I loved him both with the Yankees and the Mets the Mets team underachieved terribly considering all the talent they had and that pitching staff which was unbeatable with Doc Gooden at the top Despite all the accolades I'm quite certain Darryl Strawberry would tell you that the greatest thing in his life is the Lord and as the Lord basically tells us all we are to make a Miracle of our own personal messes so that others who eventually walked the same path we did can be counseled and see what it takes to heal. Sports is just a game a life and the soul is eternity

The Mets under performed because they had a player's coach that let them do anything they wanted and did not ask questions. The team was stacked with players that reached the mountain's peak at 19-20 years old. They had fame and fortune but no one to really mentor them and keep them out of trouble.

Please do a video on Roy Halladay. He was a real throw back. 8-10 complete games during his peak which was from 2002 to 2011.

Huge Doc fan! However, had he not died, don’t think he would have been a first ballot hall of famer. Would have taken a few years.

@murray1978 11 месяцев назад

@Volodymyr Zablotsky I think he would have gotten in if he was alive. The inductee class was weak, plus he had the stats and memorable moments

I have no words to describe how it was for Met fans in 83 and beyond, but that 86 season, on the heels of a very good 84 and 85 seasons, was unbelievably insane. I had a mini night plan at the time and attended 26 regular season games, as well as post season play. It ruined me and I’ve since divorced myself from baseball. No other team since held my heart the way the 86 team did. All teams since play in the shadow of 86. It was the same way with teams that followed the 69 Mets, but the 86 Mets bursted out of the shadow that plagued them for so many seasons. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 38 years and counting for a team to come out of the 86 shadow. There hasn’t been leaders like a Carter or Hernandez. No Mookie. No table setters like Blackman and Dykstra. No closers like McDowell or Orasko. No starters like Doc, Sid, Ron and Bobby O. It was a once in a lifetime team.

@PaladinLarec 10 месяцев назад

The first team I got into baseball with was the 1986 Mets. I became a Phillies fan in 1989 due to Krukker and Dykstra going there, but started as a Mets fan due to Strawberry. I was a HUGE fan of his and Doc. It was sad to see them destroy themselves. Loved his Yankees comeback though. Still one of my all-time favorite athletes.

You forgot to mention his defense. He did have a canon of an arm. He was one of the few outfielders. Could you do one on Eric Davis which him and Darryl strawberry I believe were teammates in high school at Crenshaw. Awesome video and I do miss the Darryl chant's

Straw could be hung over, have no clothes on, just been in a car accident and still walk up to the plate and hit a HR. He was a natural.

Your videos are great. Keep them coming. Wondering if you would be up to throw together a Dale Murphy video? Home run guy, silver slugger, MVP but no hall of famer. I’d enjoy what you could find on him.

I just stumbled upon this channel and this video.... so awesome! Straw is my second favorite player of all time and it's a close second. Hahaha. I'm a lefty so was always drawn to lefties... but growing up in Ohio my all time favorite player is Eric Davis!! Could you please make a video on him??

@Cam23 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Eric Davis would be a great guy to cover. I do have a vid focused on his 162 game stretch where he nearly had 50 HR and 100 steals, but not his whole career yet
