Darryl's swing was his signature, nobody had that level of bat travel and power. Today he ministers prisoners over 200 days per year, he's still got power.

Straw was my favorite player as a kid growing up in the 80s-90s, I collected his cards religiously. The Sports Illustrated cover of Doc and Darryl ("The Dead End Kids") hit it perfectly: Both had incredible talent, both made good on some of it, and both mostly train-wrecked the rest. However, I give Straw tons of credit and respect...He did stop the slide into self-destruction, he did make a comeback, he did have several very meaningful at-bats with the Yankees, and he has been a stand-up guy ever since. I'm so happy to see "Sweet-Swingin'-Darryl" a genuinely happy human being at this stage of his life.

Always loved Straw. He and Doc are great reminders that these pro athletes are humans with vices like us.

One of childhood heroes...I stood in the batters box and waddled the bat back and forth just like strawberry waiting on the pitch...lol...i loved those 86 mets for beating those hated red sox!!! Lol...I was just a teenager then, but straw and gooden were the best of the best at that time...I will never forget them as long ss i live...

Great show, Strawberry's story really hits a lot of people. He is vulnerable to certain weakness like most of us. And his story is a tragedy but also redemption. His skills and potentials could have sent him as first ballot HOF, but because of the off field problems, that is not happening.

Strawberry always hit the most dramatic Yankee home runs it brought the stadium to life everytime he would hit a home run at Yankee stadium the place would erupt people would lose they're minds and electricity would flow through the stadium you could feel it even if you saw it on tv it didn't make a difference his homers often tied or won the game even in the 9 th inning he's done that strawberry was a pure home run hitter and absolute Yankee legend forever despite his personal off the field issues he was adored and loved by Yankee fans for coming thru in the list needed times as a Yankee that's all any Yankee fan can ask of this great man who rose to the occasion and delivered

This is a masterpiece by Derek. I felt like I was watching a documentary on MLB Network. Even when Straw was on the Mets he still one of my favorite players.

I was at that game when he hit a walk off for his 300th. I was 8 years old. I had only been to a few games before that. I freaked out so hard when he hit it. The whole stadium did. Have been to a million games since and have yet to see something that cool again.

Derek, this was awesome. Straw in 98 was on fire. And you're correct, him taking down armando benitez was fantastic. How many times did Tino get drilled? That was on point by Straw.

Him and Doc are two of the greatest "what ifs" in the history of sports. They were first ballot hall of Fame talents. It's really a shame. I despise the Mets but my heart goes out to those two.

@josephn.schneiderman8512 10 ай бұрын

The other thing that is so impressive about Darryl Strawberry's 1998 season is that he hit 24 home runs in 295 at bats. That means that one out of every ten times at bat, he hit a homer, and one out of every three of his hits was a homer run. (He had 73 hits in 295 at bats.)

I often wonder how many yrs. Strawberry chopped off his career with all his cocaine abuse. I sure remember a lot of Darryl's batting heroics with both the Mets & the NY Yanks. He was one of the hottest bats ever. He sure sucker punched Benitez with that deadly haymaker . Darryl was showing his LA street fighting skills. There is a old saying that says, "Do the coke & you will be broke". Darryl should have applied this anti drug message.

Straw could have easily been in the 500 HR club and a first ballot HOF. Good to see him in great shape and healthy these days. Its better to get right and live a good life than have all those stats and still have issues.

Stawman should have easily 500 homers and maybe 600 if he did not fall to his weaknesses in drugs.

Because he had potential to be a hall of famer. He could have been much more than what he was if drugs didnt knock him off course.

You could argue that he is more talented than 90% of everyone inside the Hall of Fame right now but all the mistakes he made with drugs really cut his career short. But it’s really really hard to find someone who you could say is more talented than him.

I would disagree with that he didn't live up to his potential. Eight straight All Star appearances is insane. Yes, he should have had no more dominant years, but It's not like he had one great year and flamed out
