It’s been a long time coming.
On Saturday at Citi Field, Darryl Strawberry will finally have his No. 18 go into the rafters.
He will join old teammate Dwight Gooden, who had his No. 16 retired in April.
Though Strawberry won two championships with the Yankees, his title in 1986 with the Mets, the team he started his iconic career with, is who his heart truly lies with.
His first eight years with the Mets is where it all began and where he put up his greatest numbers.
Strawberry joined Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman this week on “The Show” podcast. The three-time World Series champion spoke about how special Saturday will be for him, his Mets and Yankees memories and the ups and downs in his life on and off the field.
New episodes of “The Show” with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman will be released every Tuesday afternoon through the entire MLB season. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, Amazon or wherever you get podcasts above.
