 Trivia and Player Notes
Finished tied for first in the 1986 home run derby. Strawberry finished tied for 4th place in the Home Run Derby during the 1990 all-star game.

Made a guest voice appearance in an episode of "The Simpsons" called Homer at the Bat where Homer's boss Mr. Burns assembles a team of ringers to compete in a corporate baseball league to insure a championship. The 9 Major Leaguers are given jobs at Mr. Burns' Nuclear Plant, enabling them to qualify for the team. 8 of the 9 players endure a serious injury before the final game forcing the team's real employees to take over and setting the stage for Homer to be a hero where he is hit by a pitch to force in the winning run. Strawberry is the only player to not endure an injury but is replaced by Homer as a pinch hitter when Mr. Burns, acting as manager, elects to replace the left-handed hitting Strawberry with the right-handed hitting Homer.

Member of the World Series Champion New York Mets in 1986 and the New York Yankees in 1996 and 1999.

Notes: Played in 8 All-Star games during his career (1984-1991)
