About Darryl Strawberry
Darryl Strawberry became one of Major League Baseball's most recognizable power hitters during the 1980s.
Selected first overall by the New York Mets in the 1980 MLB Draft, Strawberry made his Major League debut in 1983 and earned the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
Known for his graceful left-handed swing, tremendous power, and athletic ability in the outfield, Strawberry quickly became a cornerstone of the Mets lineup.
In 1986, he helped New York capture the World Series championship, contributing to one of the most celebrated seasons in franchise history.
Strawberry went on to earn eight consecutive All-Star selections from 1984 through 1991, lead the National League in home runs in 1988, and finish his Major League career with 335 home runs.
His exciting playing style and contributions to the championship-era Mets continue to make his cards appealing to collectors of 1980s baseball.
