"When I look in the mirror, I look at the enemy. There is no one to blame for this but myself. I should have bought myself a mirror a long time ago." - Darryl Strawberry in The Yankees Fanatic (Randy Howe, Lyons Press Publishing, 03/01/2007, Page 160)

"Darryl Strawberry, with his powerful swing and disregard for batting average, was my favorite player growing up. Never got to see him play, but did keep up with all of his statistics on the countless baseball cards I have of him. Thanks to sites such as Baseball Almanac, reading about Strawberry's career as well as many others makes my knowledge of the game and its history that much deeper." - Evan Mauser
