Baseball legend Darryl Strawberry will be speaking at Northway Church on Sunday, June 8, 2025, during the 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM services. The event falls just ahead of Father’s Day weekend and is expected to draw a large crowd from across the Capital Region.
Strawberry, a former New York Mets right fielder, is an eight-time MLB All-Star and four-time World Series Champion. He will share his personal story of triumph, struggle, and redemption—reflecting on his years in Major League Baseball and his transformation through faith.
During his standout career with the Mets from 1983 to 1990, Strawberry hit 252 home runs—the most in franchise history. He also earned 733 RBIs and 191 stolen bases, playing a pivotal role in the Mets’ 1986 World Series victory. He was named National League Rookie of the Year in 1983 and was selected for seven consecutive All-Star games during his tenure with the team.
Clare holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Nyack College and a master’s degree in strategic studies from the U.S. Army War College. His awards include the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Iraqi Campaign Medal, and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
Northway Church is located in Clifton Park and welcomes attendees of all backgrounds to hear Strawberry’s powerful testimony. No registration is required, and seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
