[@DannyCaseyMusic]

[@paulconant6268]

A tremendous speech. Well done Daryl and thank you for being such a great Met. It was fun watching you play all those years

[@carlosmarin4377]

trawberry is my favorite player of all time,, saw him many times in shea stadium when tickets cost $5 dolars at the upper deck in 1987

[@Henry-kw5ip]

Howie is a great Master of Ceremonies...

[@benedettomansueto4016]

I love Daryl Strawberry 🍓🍓🍓🍓 ... Let's Go New York Mets Baseball forever 🇺🇲🇺🇲✝️✝️⚾⚾

[@rehobothwell]

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.

[@trainstar5]

I'm glad The Mets finally retired The Strawman's number. He was an awesome Met.

[@jonstefanik9400]

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

[@bg_7_7]

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

[@charliekleiman1165]

oh stop it

[@GC-jn5yk]

Straw you're amazing! Absolutely well deserved! The Cohens do the right thing to remember the players that made the impact on this team!

[@Zeus0886]

Wow hell of a speech. Congrats Strawman!!!

[@petercarmeci8317]

I’m so happy for Strawman!!! Met him a few years ago. A very nice guy.

[@petermandzych7591]

Congratulations to the Strawman !!! You are the Straw that Stirred the Drink !!!! A True New York Met FOREVER!!!! LET'S GO METS!!!!!

[@tyronejohnson8867]

Great ceremony. That speech was from the heart. God Bless you Straw

[@raymondhoagland4976]

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 ⚾ 💙 !

[@FunkyMarcel]

40 years later , looks like he hasn't ages 5 minutes

[@lawrencebenjamin502]

Got to love the fact that he is still here !!

[@ghariiscool]

🙏🏾💯

[@ThePhenomm]

As a big Darryl Strawberry fan I get emotional watching this he will forever be my favorite of all time

[@smoothjazzandmore]

It's about time! Congrats, Strawman!

[@docschweitz7606]

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!!!

[@mitchelle4322]

We'll never see another Met team like 1986, at least Uncle Stevie is acknowledging them.

[@jonstefanik9400]

I hated the 1986 Mets because they defeated my Sox. However I do respect them.

[@justinhall9231]

Congratulations, Darryl Strawberry!

[@thejazzmanbluechannel4637]

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.

[@sheafan1971]

What a great ceremony for Darryl Strawberry

[@bg_7_7]

That place was empty cause the team stinks but Straw should have packed the house. Everyone born after I guess 90 can get bent

[@charliekleiman1165]

please show some respect or go root for yankies or another team

[@jamalmcintire8756]

Big congratulations to the Strawman...long live the Straw

[@dominiceugenio3694]

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

[@nymets1104]

A great tribute to a great player. I love the ovation the 86 guys still get in Queens. Legends!

[@brettcahan4167]

Does he have 9 kids?

[@madmanmark8387]

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.

[@RapidTransit1941]

The Mets really have to paint those other retired numbers.. Come on!

[@jimdee898]

28:03 lol

[@williamdunphy352]

P.A. Announcer: Colin Cosell

[@8avexp]

Now all they have to do is retire number 8. That should do it for now.

[@summerboy1976]

And put Lenny Dykstra in the New York Mets Hall of Fame -- NAILS #4

[@hawaii197]

Gary never gave up on Daryl and Gary use to reach out to him when Daryl had his issues

[@MichaelLabriola-f8s]

[@jameskonners8304]

[@stupaul3233]

Congratulations Strawman!

[@user-do2hp6pw9w]

Darell Darell Darell 86 met forever

[@StevenGuzLuv]

My best Mets player after Special K and The Kid

[@tomdolan9761]

So Barry Bonds isn’t in the HOF but Strawberry who threw his career away with recreational drug use has his number retired? Figures

[@charlesking3384]
