Darryl Strawberry is a former baseball player who is well-known both for his play on the field and for his
controversial behavior off of it.
Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Strawberry was one of the most feared sluggers in the game,
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. His swing elicited comparisons to Ted Williams.
During his 17-year 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.
A popular player during his career, Strawberry was voted to the All-Star Game eight straight times from 1984-1991.
Strawberry, a native of Los Angeles who played high school baseball for the Crenshaw High Cougars
was drafted first overall in the 1980 draft by the New York Mets.
At the time, Strawberry was considered a "can't miss" player, and a great power-hitting prospect to come out of
high school.
Employing a distinctive batting stance with a high leg kick, Strawberry rose through the Mets system and
was named the National League's Rookie of The Year in 1983.
In 1984, he made it to the All-Star game for the first time.
Strawberry's Mets from 1984-1990 formed one of the premier teams in the National League,
finishing either first or second in the division every year.
But as good as the Mets were on the field, they constantly feuded off the field.
Despite this, Strawberry remained an iconic figure in not only New York City, but across America.
He was loathed by opposing fans, but beloved by New Yorkers and young fans across the country.
