Did you notice that there were several

Why would that be?

For those of you who are unaware of who he is:
Darryl Eugene Strawberry, a star right fielder and author, played 17 seasons.. Throughout his career, Strawberry was one of the most feared sluggers in the sport, known for his prodigious home runs and his intimidating presence in the batter's box with his 6 ft 6 in frame and his long, looping swing.
Strawberry, who was nicknamed The Straw Man or Straw, helped lead the New York Mets to a World Series championship in 1986 and the New York Yankees to two World Series championships in 1996 and 1999. A popular player during his career, Strawberry was voted to the All-Star Game eight straight times from 1984 to 1991.
Strawberry was formerly an analyst for SportsNet New York. His memoir, Straw: Finding My Way, was published in April 2009.
