Before Darryl Strawberry began serving as a special ambassador for the Mets, he had a headline-making professional baseball career that included being an eight-time All Star, four-time World Series Champion and National League Rookie of the Year. He played for the Mets, Dodgers, Giants and Yankees. He also had well-publicized struggles off the field, which he addresses in his book, Straw, along with lessons learned about hope and survival. With his wife, Strawberry established a foundation dedicated to children with autism.
