The 62-year-old former Yankees outfielder played 17 seasons in the MLB. He was an eight-time All-Star, three-time World Series champion, two-time Silver Slugger award winner and the 1988 NL home runs leader.

On June 1, Strawberry will have his No. 18 jersey retired by the Mets. The storied franchise and all of Strawberry’s loved ones are hoping he’ll make a full recovery in time for his commemoration.
