Darryl Strawberry On Getting His Number Retired on June 1

[@uofl_mets_fan9410]

I’ve been a Mets fan since 1986. I watched them win the World Series and ultimately became a monster Daryl Strawberry fan. Fast forward to this year and the announced he’s going to have his number retired. It’s always been a dream to go see the Mets play in person so I did it purchased four tickets and taking my family. It’s the most excited I’ve been in years. I can’t wait to be a part of it Go Mets!

My first favorite Mets player growing up. I was so sad when he left the Mets, but I always followed his career! I am glad the Mets are retiring his number.

So happy to have 16 & 18 retired. Let’s get 8 retired next

I wish the addict would just go away. His number should not be retired. It seems the Mets these day are looking for anything to decorate Citi Field.

Go root for the Las Vegas A's.

Why, do they have some silly rule that precludes them from signing drunks and drug addicts?@@dr.manhattan4537

Wow, great take. It upsets me thinking about what his true career potential was. However, as a human, it warms my heart, knowing he got his life together and is now helping others. Be happy for him.
