These were the BEST DAYS of my life 🍾🍾
Still the sweetest swing I've ever seen.
Strawberry and Griffey jr.
Him, griff & will the trill…they made me wanna be a lefty so bad as a kid
@@meekmozart5216 And Josh Hamilton. Effortless flow. It looked like he was playing professional slow pitch softball against amateurs.
@@aspe7187 true indeed, josh was poetry in motion…guess I showed my age with the guys I named 🤣😳👍🏾
Griffey Jr imo. Also Ted Williams.
He hit the top of the old Olympic stadium roof....no steroids!!!!!!!
He’d hoped to knock some snow off the roof tho. Haha. Miss the ‘80s ball players
Plenty o greenies tho
Lol just a lot of cocaine 😂.
Steroids werent used but lots of cocaine was
9:23
I'm glad i got to experience those days.
Strawberry was one of a kind , we will never see his like again
Darryl is my favorite player of all time. What a sweet swing he had, but he could do it all on the field. This brought back so many great childhood memories!!
This guy was a guest speaker at my church today. I don't know much about him, but he had a very powerful story. After the sermon, he was taking pictures with people, so I decided to get one.
Yeah, a lot folks don’t realize or remember that Darryl had a cannon of an arm and could throw to home plate with ease.
@@LadyDuchess he certainly did have a cannon! Everything about him screamed cool to me as a kid tho; his batting stance, his swing, his swagger, even his name was cool. Those Mets teams from 1983-90 were beyond entertaining. Plus Ralph Kiner & Tim McCarver in the WWOR booth were just two of the goat!!
@@dmac15401 Tim McCarver used to work my nerves but I certainly remember the WWOR/channel 9 days and Kiner’s Korner after the games. Doc was my fav but I always liked Straw’s swag. Being a Met fan in the 80s (especially in ‘86) is an experience and a bond that is unexplainable.
@@LadyDuchess yeah, I can definitely see how McCarver could be annoying. I think it was a familiarity thing with me back then. I always looked forward to Kiner’s Corner too! He was already legendary in my area (Pittsburgh) but he always had a smooth, chill vibe to him.
Favorite player as a kid. Still love him. LGM
mine too
No matter what, I've always loved Strawberry.
Favorite all time player. I LOVE Darryl.
HE WILL ALWAYS BE A LEGEND IN BASEBALL FOREVER......STILL A GREAT PERSON......NO MATTER WHAT......HE HAS RISEN.......!!!
Straw was just so graceful.. everything he did on the field..as other hv said his was the sweetest swing! As exciting at the plate as reggie ..or more..
The man who made me a Mets fan (and a baseball fan). I was scorned in '91 when he signed with LA and was talking trash about the Mets and then going on to playing for the YANKEES of all teams but time moves on and he'll always be my favorite Met.
Very cool find, I'm a massive Steawberry fan, I have his jersey with every team beside the Giamts who he played like 20 games for. He's always been my favorite player of all time. I had no idea his leg kick developed so much over time. He almost has no step on his first MLB hit.
That smooth, whip-like swing--Straw had the greatest LH power swing I've seen in my baseball watching lifetime! (Griffey Jr. also had a beautiful swing--but Straw just had that SNAP to it along with the smoothness!)
I'm not a Mets fan, but was always excited to see what Strawberry did at the plate.
You and me both.
Had a crush on Darryl...a beast with the home runs and steals..
He was something SPECIAL,had NY at his feet drugs and occasional disinterest, stopped him from having his bust in COOPERSTOWN !
By the way Kirk Gibson has Darryl's MVP and HE KNOWS IT !!!
Spot on pretty much everything you said. And YES Strawberry should have absolutely been 1988 NL MVP. That was stolen from him that's a fact..
Amen brutha ⚾
It did hit the top of the stadium, I remember it very well.
9:23
the best swing in all of baseball
When he’s runnin’
all the players make space
he runs, he slides
and then he’s safe.
My brother was at the Mets game when Strawberry hit that blast against the Cardinals - he said it was the longest homer he'd ever seen. I think they estimated it around 500 feet. Massive blast....
The famous over the Mets bullpen into the players parking lot HR.
Darryl Strawberry is simply A M A Z I N G!!! 🙂
I'm digging the 80's music theme
Love the walkoff against Franco
I was at that game. Straw was my favorite player ever. Lived and died with at bats.
Funny thing is I lived in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. So did Franco. That winter Franco was in the gym I went to.
So we started talking. Great dude by the way, but I had to mention that I was there for that homer. He laughed, but then told me the date, the pitch and the count.
Just read he'll be at Old Timer's Day, so I had to come look him up to relive my childhood memories of this man. He was IT back in the day. The guy you stopped what you were doing to watch him at bat. I remember that 30/30 moment like it was yesterday.
LFGM love ya Mets
I love this guy
I miss Shea Stadium and Citifield. First I was 38 miles away in Connecticut. Then I moved to 115 miles away still in CT. I now live in Texas. I am 44 miles from Minute Maid Park. Let’s Go Mets!
Meet the Club, I because a NY Mets in 1986 playoffs again the Astros from Bronx, NY, move to Orlando, FL and now live with my wife in Dallas, Texas. #LGNYMETS⚾🍓
sweet swing. long lanky and smooth...and generated a ton of power
His home run “strut” was so majestic
Watching go from hitting a lot of opposite field stuff to just yanking the ball in a couple years is hilarious
HR's off N. Ryan (playoffs), G. Maddox, J. Franco.
Love the low hand shake : )
6:08 that's the silliest look I ever seen on a pitcher's face🦆
Straw was pretty clutch.
Mets for life!
4th longest HR I. Recorded history. 450 footers we average For strawberry 🍓
Does anyone else remember him having a high leg kick? He was my favorite player, i used to try and impersonate his swing... with a high leg kick. Strange to see now he nver had one?
Daryl was so so great. He hit some seriously far home runs & no steroids. His game 7 ws Homer was way up there. No roids either. Most pure swing I've ever seen
I'm a huge Darryl fan but I suspect he was using droids by '98. I'm not definite about that.
Just Blow
I love Shea stadium.
He's the only player that when he went up to bat you'd think he'd hit a home run. That natural swing he had
those were the days ....
Anyone notice (check the scoreboard)… the homer off of Franco was the 1st pitch 😳⚾️💥
STRAW WAS MY HERO
Growing up we all had our favorite players while we played baseball.
We collected all their cards and competed to see who had the most..I still have all Darryl's rookies and pages of each year of every card brand...after his coke exposure his tops traded went down to $4 from $155...I remember being upset 😂
I was at Shea that night in '83, (Seaver pitching) when he hit that homer.
Made baseball look so easy
🍓 took his time rounding the bases in Game 7 ! 😎
The slowest homerun trot _ever_ and I was loving every second of it! 😂
He was giving the f u to manager Davey for benching him in game 6. He was pinch hit for by Kevin Mitchell which puzzled mookie Wilson & others but obviously it worked as Mitchell was part of that 4 man rally to stun the world & red sox in game 6.
@@nattyps3160 After the homer in game 7 you see Ray Knight talking to Darryl at home plate. He was telling Darryl to get shake Davey's hand and bury it.
What a swing he had, Just think about how good he could have been, along with Doc Gooden, Both should be in Cooperstown, Couldn't get out of they're own way, A shame
On the 7th day, God created earth. On the 8th day, he chiseled out Darryl Strawberry ⚾ ~Gary Carter
That might be true my friend but the bottom line is God and Jesus has forgiven Darryl strawberry,, and he's the new creature in Christ, and today he was preaching at my church today with his wife Dr Tracy strawberry,,,, my God is a restoring God he is a great God he's a good God,,, and Darryl strawberry is a great preacher for the Lord Jesus Christ,, his testimony was powerful today, at my church..
Could you imagine if Strawberry was on steroids with a juiced baseball? It's amazing that all these guys look like high school players compared to today.
I would also argue that hitting against today's hard throwers as opposed to the that era's pitchers would have helped inflate a lot of players numbers aswell. Big leaguers can hit the hard straight stuff its the breaking and offspeed pitching that generally gives them trouble
here after the announcement of his jersey number retirement next season :)
Was there today. Great ceremony.
What a stroke
😍😍😍
Oh, to be a Mets fan in that era. Nothing like it since. It ruined baseball for me. That team, from 84-87, was something else. They beat on everyone, in the box score and on the field. Other teams hated them, and other teams hated playing at Shea. All games, from opening day to the very last game, were pure electric. You had to be there to understand. The NL playoffs against Houston, and the WS against Boston in 86 was insane. So was the AL playoffs between the Angels and Red Sox. A great post season for baseball. Each league had only two teams in the post season. I had tickets to 3 games in the playoffs and 3 for the World Series. I first became a fan in 1969, the magical Mets team. Every team after lived in their shadow until 1986. Now the current Mets team, and all teams since, can’t get out of the 86 team’s shadow.
Mjy man
I love how everything in the 80s was celebrated with a cake…. 1983 NL Rookie of the Year?? Here’s a big cake.
🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓♥️🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
He goes to my curch
👍👍👍👍
Doc Gooden and Strawberry. them boys were on their way to Cooperstown. easily. them damn drugs.
How about we call strawberry and tell him to come play with us again it would make us better
Not todd hundley?
I wonder how far that ball would’ve gone had there been no roof ?
5:21 打たれたけど、ライアンかっこいい
Despite being 6 foot 6 inches. What a home run hitting machine. His off the field activity wasn't the best role model image. 😂
Then u got roided out judge at only an inch taller but this big looking monster while no roids for straw. He was too skinny & Def never took them. Just the most graceful fluid swing w/ serious power in those arms. 21 in major leagues hitting blasts like that & he won a ring in his 3rd year. I guess no hof but everyone knows if straw didn't get off track w/ issues easily a hof player. Best young talent the likes of which won't be seen again. Scouts were flying from everywhere trying to sign him in hs out in calif to go right to their team.
His vlad tv interview is great
how is the HR off Ken Dayley in 85 not on this?
Was thinking the same thing.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.

I got to speak a little with Daryl Strawberry behind the Dodgers bullpen when he was with the Dodgers. Seemed like a good guy and good player. Then the Dodgers signed Eric Davis and Strawberry went to crap. Davis was like a cancer and took Strawberry down with him.
True but that may not be the best choice in words when describing Davis 😬
@@dmac15401 After looking it up I see that you are correct. I don't remember his cancer issue. Revising it, he was certainly detrimental to Strawberry and the Dodgers.
I like to imagine there's a universe where everybody did crack instead of roids i think the eric b and rakim league could have been way cooler
Why he left the Mets for the Dodgers is beyond me! He could of been Great for the Dodgers but he was always hurt and Cracked out!
Well, he's from Los Angeles, so it made sense. Plus, reuniting him with his childhood friend, Eric Davis. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for either.
He aint a crackhead now. He found god and ministers now. Saw him yesterday
@@daddyhazelz Amen! It’s not how you start in life, it’s how you finish!
He was a bobby dazzler
If he was never hooked on Coke, he'd be a Pepsi drinker.
Darrel had to strawberry a few daffy ducks!!!!!
No steroids, just cocaine
9:26 the announcer had a stroke
lol i know wtf was that!/?
2/21/24 - 600th like
Haven’t seen any footage of strawberry till RN. He wasn’t always on the Mets ya know. Ahem, Dodgers? That’s when I used to watch him back in the day on the dodgers. His stance at the plate is Exactly like Barry Bonds .... wonder if he copied Strawberry 🤔🤔🤔🤔
He should have been in the Hall of Fame if it wasn't because of the drugs
Darryl strawberry is mets popular player of all times
Wiggins disliked this video .
Just a baseball robot...sweetest power swing...
...you cannot put more skills in a player......just maybe a better brain...
...this was a dead ball era...missed the 40/40 by 1 HR i think...
...juiced? I think he could have been the 1st 50/50 guy in baseball history!
Griffey is the only other with this type of skillset! (Had Bond not overdone the juice, he also could have!)
queens team ? ( giggle .. )
What an underachiever.
Shouldn't have went to dodgers that's what rushed his rollercoaster career from there but gotta respect him a great player and doing well now
How MANY Rings you have? Mets FAN?
Says you..LOL.
💼🍓💰💯🇱🇷
Wasted talent. They were projecting him to hit 600 homeruns if he really gave it all to baseball. But it just came easy to him so he was happy to be out of Crenshaw and be in the majors at 20 years old
Dave Kingman was way better
troll much?
He did roids when he went west to LA and SF ..sad to say the real what if is ..what if he had simply had a drug FREE career and used all his God given talent. Same as Mickey Mantle ..As good as they were , how much better would they have been?
@6:57....sweet, off Franco. Always hated Franco
What do you want, a strawberry on top?
