can't beat the straw...followed him since his mets days and i was so happy he signed with the dodgers
 . always remember the 1st time i saw his '89 topps card with the veins popping out of his forearms...FIERCE. maybe if he played in milwaukee or seattle he could've lived up to all that natural talent.

One of my memories of Strawberry was early in his career, possibly his rookie year, when he caught a ball near the line in RF and threw out Alan Wiggins at home trying to tag up from 3rd. Wiggins was possibly the fastest man in the game at that time. The throw was incredible.

As a Cardinal fan in the 1980's, I never connected with Straws. The Cards and Mets had a great rivalry at the time. We loved to hate the pond scum Mets.
Of all crazy things, Darryl now lives in St. Louis! He cleaned up his life and found a church here that he loves. So, he packed up and moved here to be closer to his church. I saw him last month at a sports trivia contest where he was a special guest. He gave a nice talk about the rivalry of the '80's and even made reference to being "one of the pond scum." He had some fun on stage joking around with The Batting Stance Guy. He talked about how he absolutely hated to bat against John Tudor, but loved to bat against Bob Forsch. His favorite Cardinal? Whitey Herzog. The most encouraging part was that he attended the pre-party (booze provided) and was very approachable. He mingled comfortably with fans. His eyes and speach were clear and his walk was steady. In my opinion, this was a man that is happy to be alive. He has turned his life around and that is a real blessing.

280 homers by age 29. 55 after that.
As A Cardinal fan, I was ecstatic when he went to LA to get him out of the NL East. Doc Gooden by age 26: 132 wins 53 losses. The ultimate "What if" players of the 80's.
