Part 1: • Darryl Strawberry on G...
--------
Darryl Strawberry reflected on his years with the NY Mets, highlighting the team’s winning years from 1984 through 1986. After winning Rookie of the Year in 1983, Strawberry shared how the arrival of Davey Johnson as the manager and dynamic rookie pitcher "Doc" Gooden had a profound impact on the team. In 1984, the Mets started making noise but ended up losing to the Chicago Cubs, largely due to Rick Sutcliffe’s stellar performance, which held the Mets at bay. As Strawberry recalls, while he and Gooden became well-established and successful major league baseball players, the secret to winning the 1986 World Series was not the sum of the players' skills but largely due to the right team chemistry. The Mets' rivalry with the Cardinals, who beat them in 1985, fueled a desire to excel in 1986, and they ended up dominating the entire season, culminating in a World Series victory against the Boston Red Sox.
thank you, Strawberry for giving my boy Bill Buckner his props. Buckner got MORE career hits than 70% of the players in the HOF.
That's a great Stat,
Buckner had over 2700 hits in his career and he played most of his career hurt because of an injury earlier in his career in the minors. Had he not gotten hurt, he definitely would have had 3000 hits and would have been a 5 tool player. I have nothing but respect for Buckner and I wish he and his family never had to endure what they had to go through after 1986.
Calvin Schiraldi, John McNamara, Bob " chicken " Stanley cost the Sox the series that year. A great, exciting team. Heros like Henderson, and underrated guys like Marty Barret, and Bruce Hurst almost gave us the dream season. Bill Buckner took 64 seasons of frustration on his shoulders. Its a shame what he had to endure.
@@auntiewewe972 the Boston Media and their fans...RAN Buckner out of Boston. and made his life a living HELL. and they NEVER apologize to them/the Buckners. when Buckner was with the Cubs. 1977-84. in the national league. great clutch hitting and great first basemen. it didn't get any better than Buckner, Steve Garvey, and Keith Hernandez. doing that time. 77-1984
@@ATCguy1973 2,715 career hits to be exact. Buckner hurt is ankle sliding into 2nd base/trying to be like Davey Lopes. when they were with the Dodgers back in 1976. the Dodgers didn't think he would recover and traded him to the Cubs in early 1977. in 1980/Buckner won a batting title for the Cubs. the man is HOF worthy.
Daryl’s batspeed and how much power he generated was insane 👊🏼
Facts - and it really was a awkward swing - the bat was almost pointed at the picture at the beginning of the swing and he brought that bat all the way back around and throw the strike zone like a tornado - I guess that's how he generated so much power by starting his swing above his head 🤷🏾♂️ - a normal person would be late every time trying to hit a fast ball if they used that technique
and Sergio, it was a beautiful swing too. on par with Griffey.
Guys that tall with arms that long are not supposed to get through hitting box that fast
Sweet swing
@@germxv I agree - I was taught that it is all about your wrist - being able to twist your wrists quickly during the swing
Hard to believe Straw lives in St. Louis. It's like reading that Tom Herr lives on Central Park West.
I just saw this brother at the DMV in my town about a year ago. I looked at him and nodded, he nodded back, but I didn't want to make a big scene because there were a lot of people in there. Looks like he's doing really good.
From ‘85-‘88….the Mets and Cardinals rivalry was a War…Great rivalry 💯💯💯
Pondscum!
I agree. Great rivalry.
Against the cards, those years were must-see games.
@@moegunn5434it was basically those two teams dominating the NL East and nobody else save for the Chicago Cubs. This was the era of you either win the division and make the playoffs or you go home. There were no Wild Card spots until 1994-95.
A big part of the Mets-Cards rivalry stemmed from the Cards trade of Keith Hernandez to the Mets in ‘83. Whitey Herzog who actually was with the Mets in the early years and was a protege of Casey Stengel also stoked the flames with his comments in the press. Great rivalry and great memories. I am sure deep down under the hatred on both sides there was mutual respect.
Glad to hear Straw bigging up Buckner. What happened to him was so wrong. His career should be acknowledged. He paid for that one mishap in lifetimes worth of sins. RIP Billy. We see you.
Alcoholics, coke heads, womenizers no steroids and one of the best teams of all time 😅
It was a wild time in NYC and MLB History
Nice to see him give Willie and Ozzie their props,that was a great rivalry to watch growing up in the 80s. They used to sell shirts here in st.louis that said the Mets were pond scum in the 80s,Mets and Cardinals were definitely best 2 teams in the NL that decade
Watched ESPN 30 for 30:once upon a time in Queens: The Story Of The 1986 New York Mets……it was a good documentary and the two moves the Mets made after the 1986 World Series messed them up for years:not resigning Ray Knight and trading Kevin Mitchell……Straw and the Mets turned it up in the 1986 regular season and postseason……
Vlad needs to get Dwight Gooden on here.
Dwight is not doing good. Still struggling with drugs. I wish him the best.
Those Oakland A's teams were great to even though they only won that one year!
Damn, i was 10 years old in 1986
Same
7:50 Strawberry nailed Clemens correctly!!! Clemens was not only the franchise he was the #1 player in MLB in 1986 AND left game 6 with the lead for a pinch hitter as Boston tried to increase their lead which is bat shit crazy dumb logic as Boston relievers sucked and blew compared to Clemens... Clemens removal and not Buckner's error should have been the legendary moment from this game but most humans are dumb so they blame Buckner even though everyone knows it was the managers fault for leaving him in AND taking out Clemens so obviously the real problem was Macnamara and Clemens and not Buckner... imagine being charged falsely with a felony and you have to have a jury of humans get you off the hook, fucking nightmare... fax!!!
My favorite athlete of all time in his prime he was incredible....wish this was on club shay shay
Glad doesn’t even know any of the players that Darryl was talking about. SMH
Who is Glad?
DJ Vlad is the individual who conducted this interview.
@@wesleyparker6045 he made a typo dummy
Russians don't really follow baseball
I grew up in NYC during this time. It was insane. The Mets organization never truly recovered from the 1988 playoff loss to the LA Dodgers.
DAAAARRYL
DAAAAAARRYL
DAAARRYL
"Bart Simpson" LMAO
He kinda look like a Simpson character😂
Game 5 Daaaaaaryle
Darryl was a great player
Maann... Listening to Straw talking about losing to my Cubs in '84 and the Padres broke my 11 year old heart to that ball going under Buckner's in '86 was a good 3 years to watch baseball. The Saturday game of the week on NBC was excellent.
I’m still a Mets fan since the 80’s and it’s because of Strawberry, Doc Gooden and company. Growing up in NYC, that team felt like they were from NYC.
This wad the era where I remember seeing more Mets hats and apparel then Yankees, which was saying something. The Mets of that era were the closest thing to the 1985 Chicago Bears Baseball had in terms of the cast of characters they had and how dominating they were. And like those 80’s Bears, they only were able to win that lone championship. What could have been of not for the cardinals and dodgers
Schiraldi, bob stanley, gedman kind of choked in gm 6, buckner just missed imo. Buck was a borderline hofr who courageously played on bum knees all year ....no way we make WS without bb, RIP to him, baylor, hendu, tom seaver.
Smfh.....that hr off doc in 88. I still remember 😢
Mike Scoscia…damn him
@michaelspringer8704 F him....and Davey Johnson for leaving Doc in. I'm just being bitter Doc was our ace I probably would've kept him in myself. That HR was the real beginning of an era of terrible ball, Darryl left for LA .....then the yanks win in 96 .......we signed jason bay.......I'm all over the place Mets Fandom will do this
You need to interview the dude who mentioned in this clip. That dude is Eric 'Eric The Red' Davis, both went to the same Hugh School, performed at a high level in the Bigs. Eric is good dude, well respected amongst his peers. I think he was the first dude to wear hightops in the MLB. They finally got to play on their hometown the Dodgers in the mid 90s..what could've been.. Eric had the ooolest wristbands him Straw use to wear them back in those days. They were called MIMS Bands made from a black dude from South Central, LA. Google 'em, they were bad ass... maybe interview him too, he's got a cool story too... but E.D. would be a dope interview!
Vlad missed alot with this one. No questions about the wrecked plane, no questions about the cop fight in Texas during the regular season by Straws teammates. So much to cover in the 86 season he missed. Even Mike Scott cheating. Vlad is just asking questions reading off of Wikipedia timeline.
He doesn't know anything about baseball.
@@tommyfu9271that’s why there are zero interruptions and Straw able to talk for 4-5mins at a time.
@@ThatsGreg good point.
@@tommyfu9271 if you think this one is cringe, Go check out the Pete Rose interview🤣 he don’t know shiiiit.
@@ThatsGreg yea I saw that one. It was pretty funny how clueless Vlad was. Then Pete would say something like so then on July 22nd 1969 I had three hits to left field off Bob Gibson...
And Vlad would pretend he knew what the hell he was talking about
Strawberry and Gooden could have been the Mets version of what Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford were for the Yankees. The talent on the 86-88 teams and the bench depth was really something. I am a Yankee fan but the Mets could have won a bunch of WS in the 80s into the early 90s . They were young and deep enough to go on a long run.. The drugs and nightlife did them in.
The interesting part is they ended up playing for the Yankees and having success.
I was in 6th grade, 11 years old. That Met team and WS was the most excitement I ever experienced in baseball. Strawberry and Gooden! Being from Tampa Gooden had lots of fans here.
I LOVE that DS is such a knowledgeable Baseball Historian!
I was so upset in 88 when the Mets lost to the Dodgers
"We could not stand the Cardinals. We hated the Cardinals
...But the rest of them we thought were a bunch of jerkoffs."
That's about right.
Straw should got MVP in 1988. If the Mets kept Ray Knight in 88, they would won world serise in 88.
In 1988 Darryl Strawberry Broke The Winning Spirit For The New York Mets Saying How He Wanted To Jump Ship And Go Home And Play For The Los Angeles Dodgers ⚾⚾
One of New York’s most iconic players and personalities ever. Darry if you read this WE LOVE YOU MAN💎⭐️💙
Everybody wants to play for they’re hometown team eventually
Dodgers !!🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Dodgers won the 1988 World Series 4-1.
At 11:31 Darryl Strawberry said "because they went on and they swept the Oakland A's".
The A's won game 3 in the 1988 World Series 2-1.
Good catch. Nevertheless, he was close.
However, the 88 Mets were 10-1 vs the Dodgers in the regular season but lost to them in 7 in the playoffs.
Reds swept A’s next year in 1990
@@watchdog242 he didn't mention the Reds. How tf is 1990 the next year?
Vlad how u not gonna ask him about the bat he has in his pants heard it's one of the biggest next to joe damaggio

Doc Gooden and Darryl created an eternal connection and great memories for NY Baseball fans. Even for us Yankee fans. For myself, it was the only period where I followed and attended Met games. For the youngsters, if they hadn't been caught up in the drug "war" in the 80's ( i.e when the U.S Gov't flooded black neighborhoods with drugs to finance international proxy wars for stealing resources) they both would likely have been Hall of famers. Straw who hit 335 while missing major parts of 6 seasons with drug and cancer problems had can't miss Hall of fame talents. Doctor K had HOF abilities too. I'm glad they will be honored at SHEA this year. ( a little Yankee fan dig😁)
Why in the world would McNamara leave Buckner in to play defense😂
Thank you so much for 1986 World Series Ring 💍 ... Love Daryl Strawberry forever ❤️❤️✝️✝️🇺🇲🇺🇲⚾⚾
Incredible run for 5,6 years until cocaine and alcohol got him off track and it was huge problem in MLB. There was huge case with Dale Berra and some other players that was a fed case i think. His swing and Griffey purest swing in ever in MLB.
Give Straw props for tipping his cap to the better team in that 1988 playoff. I remember how tough that series was after so many people were penning in the Mets to in the NL pennant or flat out win it all against a Oakland juggernaut. That Mets team was more talented the Dodgers, but as he put it the Mets did not have the same heart as the 1986 team. That Dodgers team DID and it was very scrappy with dominating pitching down the stretch. He could have said they just git lucky that series, but he gives them credit for also beating a 104 win Oakland team in “5?game sweep” as it was called.
Already have my tickets for Strawberry 🍓 #18 Retirement at Citi Field this summer.
1986 Mets!!!
"but I've got 9 homeruns today!.."
It's called playing the percentages
I didn't realize the Mets and Strawberry were that good in the 80s. I only remember him from his Yankees days.
Doesn't Vlad offer his guests water? Straw seems to be very thirsty....
Vladimir obviously doesn’t know shhh about that era of baseball.
This was great interview
Great interview. Really enjoyed Daryl having the space to tell his story with so much honesty, perspective, and insight.
Is Darryl still living in St.louis?
Kirk Gibson.
Shout out Billy buckner😊😊😊
Thanks for letting people know Billy Buk was a great hitter long time Cubs fan who is from Chicago BB was my very 1st favorite Cub player when I became a baseball fan he played really hard n had a bad foot injury with the Dodgers that took away a lot of his true potential but still was a double mechanic n drive n runs n hit for a nice average
Dodgers did not sweep the A’s in that series
Danny heep
That was the last time they won the world series! 40 years ago!! Dwight Gooding and Daryl Strawberry, the Mets crackheads!! I'm happy to see he finally kicked that crack/coke habit.
He might be able to mentor Kanye West
October 27, 1986 wasn't even 37.5 years ago yet, genius
Dwight Gooden's MLB debut was April 7, 1984. You think "Dwight Gooding" won the World Series 40 years ago because you're incompetent.
Lmao Gooding
@@wesleyparker6045 pull his dick out of your ass. Defending a crack head.
Great interview and recovery.
THE KEITH HERNANDEZ TRADE
Glad he became a Dodger 💙
How does it feel!!!!!!
Come on with the generic questioning!!!!
Aww Darryl u can't be hating on my cardinals my home team lol.
As a A’s fan that hurt so bad losing that series.
"Lol" is dated.
Lol

CANDYMANE
