1984 Topps Darryl Strawberry
Of course I had to pick up this card!!!
I am about half-way through Darryl’s autobiography right now and my appreciation for him as a player continues to grow. Straw was a baseball superstar in the mid-to-late 80’s and his dominance on the field was not matched by many. Amazingly while his personal life was in shambles, Darryl continued to excel on the baseball diamond and won the hearts of many Mets and baseball fans around the country.
I like this card. I remember that swing very well and I cheered for it quite often as a kid!!!

That swing was huge and quick. I still say he should have been the MVP in 1988!
