Former Dodgers outfielder Darryl Strawberry spent his 62nd birthday Tuesday recovering from a coronary heart assault. Strawberry, an eight-time All-Star, posted a heartwarming replace on his Instagram account after the life-threatening incident:
A Los Angeles native, Strawberry performed three (1991-93) of his 17 main league seasons along with his hometown Dodgers. His five-year, $20.25 million contract made him the second-highest paid participant in baseball when it turned official on Nov. 8, 1990.
Accidents and off-the-field points marred the later years of the contract following Strawberry’s All-Star 1991 season. The Dodgers ended up shopping for out his contract and releasing Strawberry in Might 1994, setting off a baseball odyssey that took the previous star to San Francisco, again to New York with the Yankees, and even the unbiased St. Paul Saints in 1996.
Strawberry retired after the 1999 season with 335 residence runs and 1,000 RBIs for the Dodgers, Giants, Yankees and New York Mets.
Dodgers Nation sends its finest needs to Strawberry in his restoration.
