From rick_cleveland: More than 30 former players, including several who made the Major Leagues, will attend a Jackson Mets reunion this weekend.
Those include Darryl Strawberry who as a 19-year-old Jackson Met slugged 34 home runs. That figure is especially impressive when you consider Strawberry played all his home games in a cavernous, often humid ballpark where home runs elsewhere were fly ball outs. The ball sounded different coming off Strawberry’s bat – take it from someone who would go to the ballpark just to watch him take batting practice.
