Doc and Darryl are back together.
O Mets officially gave Darryl Strawberry his place in the rafters at Citi Field alongside his good friend and former teammate Dwight Gooden before Saturday afternoon’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Strawberry spent the first eight years of his big league career in New York after being selected right out of high school with the first overall pick in the 1980 MLB Draft.
He quickly took the league by storm, winning NL Rookie of the Year, and then went on to make the All-Star team in each of his next seven seasons with the Mets while finishing in the top 10 in MVP voting four times and taking home two Silver Sluggers.
Strawberry didn’t leave the Big Apple on the best of terms, but Saturday’s ceremony finally allowed him to return and thank fans for their support and apologize.
Check out some of the afternoon’s festivities…
