Darryl Strawberry is a 8-time MLB All-Star (1984-1991) and 4-time World Series Champion (1986, 1996, 1998, 1999). He won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 1983. In 2010, Darryl was inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame.

Darryl was signing autographs at the Sports Authority in Paramus, NJ. This would be my second time meeting him. I previously met him at Mendham Books for a Brandon Steiner book signing on September 9, 2012. As always, Darryl was a great guy. He signed any type of item and took pictures with everyone who asked.

Darryl Strawberry signed photos promoting Brandon Steiner's new book. There were two photos of Darryl in a Mets and Yankees uniform. I asked him if I could please have two signed photos and he signed both of them.
