Sweet swing of the Strawberry 🍓thanks for the memories and help bringing a championship to the city of New York ! Congratulations on your number being retired , you deserve it ⚾ 💙 !
The Mets are seen as one long clown show. Have there been too many bad moments? Absolutely! But there have been beautiful, amazing moments and players as well. I applaud the Cohens for doing what the Wilpons could not or would not: Bringing to remembrance those amazing moments and retiring numbers of well beloved stars. Looking forward to seeing Gary Carter's number retired as well. Stay healthy, Darryl! God bless you.
The Hug of his beautiful Wife spoke VOLUMES upon VOLUMES to me about the MAN Darryl has become. Darryl you are indeed a Man, the Man you always wanted to be!! I love your wife for Standing by your side! Great Hug Darryl!! Just GREAT!!!
Love you straw so happy I've been a dodgers fan for 35 years now but growing up in nyc I still root for mets too and looking back was exciting when you went back to los angeles I was at your first game back at shea as a dodger but truth be told you belonged in queens and never should have left the mets but I'm so glad you are happy healthy and looking good
Frank Cashen refused to resign him. He was afraid to trade him, knowing the backlash from the fans would have driven him out of town, so Cashen let him go for nothing. If Straw had been able to stay with the team, he could have been a Hall of Famer.
This was a great ceremony. Who knows how many more home runs he could have had. 400, possibly for the team. I am glad he recognized his team and other people. The stadium didn't look packed enough and seemed less enthusiastic. Too bad they lost the game after the ceremony, and I watched this because now the NY RANGERS were eliminated from the playoffs, and Darryl was at game 5 at the Garden. So I needed something good to watch. In the words of former WCW/WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg, "Who's next?" to have a number retired ceremony. Perhaps the kid himself Gary Carter. Who knows and how long before the next ceremony takes place. Congratulations to you, strawman.
There was nobody there. It’s embarrassing to be a Mets fan. Absolutely pathetic. I live in NJ and it’s a hike but this is a day I should be there. I’m absolutely ashamed and embarrassed
My thoughts. First of all Ten is Enough. Glad he's ok from his heart attack. He brings me back to the greatest decade of the 1980s, talking about great but not perfect teammates. Darryl's 100% correct on fan support. When the Mets are good, they love you. When they suck, they go batshit. Which makes the Yankees boring and the Mets have the real fans. Finally, I just knew they were gonna turn the Home Run Apple into a Strawberry Congratulations Straw! #18
A tremendous speech. Well done Daryl and thank you for being such a great Met. It was fun watching you play all those years
Straw you're amazing! Absolutely well deserved! The Cohens do the right thing to remember the players that made the impact on this team!
Touching , really touching ..... like an old time movie , with real heart and sincerity
Wow hell of a speech. Congrats Strawman!!!
I’m so happy for Strawman!!! Met him a few years ago. A very nice guy.

A great tribute to a great player. I love the ovation the 86 guys still get in Queens. Legends!
What a great ceremony for Darryl Strawberry

Big congratulations to the Strawman...long live the Straw
🙏🏾💯
Howie is a great Master of Ceremonies...
I'm glad The Mets finally retired The Strawman's number. He was an awesome Met.
Frank Cashen refused to resign him. He was afraid to trade him, knowing the backlash from the fans would have driven him out of town, so Cashen let him go for nothing. If Straw had been able to stay with the team, he could have been a Hall of Famer.

Congratulations to you, strawman.
AWESOME!! LFGM!
We'll never see another Met team like 1986, at least Uncle Stevie is acknowledging them.
I hated the 1986 Mets because they defeated my Sox. However I do respect them.
f you remember my wife and our four year old son were at "Strawberry Sunday"
Gary never gave up on Daryl and Gary use to reach out to him when Daryl had his issues
There was nobody there. It’s embarrassing to be a Mets fan. Absolutely pathetic. I live in NJ and it’s a hike but this is a day I should be there. I’m absolutely ashamed and embarrassed
oh stop it
Congratulations Strawman!
The Mets really have to paint those other retired numbers.. Come on!
40 years later , looks like he hasn't ages 5 minutes

28:03 lol
Now all they have to do is retire number 8. That should do it for now.
And put Lenny Dykstra in the New York Mets Hall of Fame -- NAILS #4

Miss Straw. Try knocking him down with a pitch....see what happens
Truth!!
Darell Darell Darell 86 met forever
My best Mets player after Special K and The Kid
Does he have 9 kids?
That place was empty cause the team stinks but Straw should have packed the house. Everyone born after I guess 90 can get bent
please show some respect or go root for yankies or another team
It’s so embarrassing
whats embrrrassing that you cant be respctful
21:14 listen to this
Heaven heard that!
So Barry Bonds isn’t in the HOF but Strawberry who threw his career away with recreational drug use has his number retired? Figures
Ecstatic I Got To Witness This In Person #18LivesForever 🍓💙🧡
