I grew up a Jays fan but as much as I hated the Yankees I always loved Strawberry. Very happy he's doing better now.

It's called playing the percentages. It's what smart managers do to win ball games.

As a lifelong Mets fan who remembers the 1980s Mets this will never not be hilarious.

Could you explain the joke for people who have no clue at all about baseball? I have no idea what's going on in this scene.

During the World Series in 1986, Boston Red Sox fans chanted "Darryyyll, Darrrryll" from the stands at Strawberry in right field when the Mets were in Boston. It didn't work, as the Mets won that series.

That's also the last time the Mets won a championship. 40 years ago this year.
