Prayers pouring in for Yankees legend Darryl Strawberry, his family.
Baseball fans are praying for eight-time MLB All-Star Darryl Strawberry and his family as his wife continues to battle Early Stage Cancer.
Strawberry shared in July that his wife, Tracy, was preparing for “major surgeries” to battle the Early Stage Cancer and that she also is scheduled to get a hip replacement at the end of the year.
Earlier this week, Darryl Strawberry provided an update on how Tracy is doing.
“This really has been some very challenging times for us, but we wanted to thank God for his Grace and Mercy!” Strawberry posted on Instagram. “Thank you to all the Doctors and Nurses for your incredible care and dedication in helping my wife through back-to-back surgeries and major health challenges.
“Your compassion has meant the world to our family during this difficult time, and you hold a special place in our hearts.”
Darryl Strawberry went on to thank his church family, his friends, his fans and everyone who has offered their support. Finally, he announced that Tracy is coming home from the hospital.
“We are truly grateful to each and every one of you who has taken the time to pray for us during this difficult moment,” he said. “Your support and prayers mean the world to our family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Despite the fact that Tracy is coming home, Strawberry and his family are still asking for prayers, and plenty of people shared in the comments that they will continue to pray.
“Sending prayers and positive thoughts!” one person said.
Another added: “Always been a supporter and I support you more than ever now. Love you Darryl and Tracy, all my prayers for you all.”
The 63-year-old Strawberry had an incredible Major League Baseball career, earning All-Star honors eight times and winning three World Series titles. He was also named the NL Rookie of the Year in 1983.
Darryl Strawberry started his MLB career with the Mets and played eight seasons in New York, before leaving and spending three seasons with the Dodgers. After a brief stint with the Giants, Strawberry ended his career with the Yankees, helping New York to a pair of World Series titles as his career was winding down.
