Darryl

Just when you think Franklin Sussex Auto Mall has covered all the bases, Coach Snouffer hits one out of the park!  Being that April is all about baseball at FSAM, we are bringing in a big hitter…Darryl Strawberry…the “Straw” himself!  Darryl will be at the dealership on April 24th 2010!  During his 17-year career, he helped lead the New York Mets to a World Series championship in 1986 and the New York Yankees to three World Series championships in 1996, 1998 and 1999.  Strawberry is one of only four (4) Major League Baseball players to have played for all four current or former New York teams—the New York Yankees, the New York Mets, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the San Francisco Giants. Furthermore, Darryl Strawberry is the only player to spend his entire career playing for these teams, and is only one of two recognized as winning a World Series championship with both of New York’s current teams.  A popular player during his career and still today, Strawberry was voted to the All Star Game eight straight times from 1984–1991.

From 3pm to 6pm, this Major League Baseball All Star will be posing for pictures and signing autographs.  Did you ever wonder if he liked being a Met better than a Yankee?  Or perhaps what he thinks of the new stadiums?  Well, now is your chance to ask him!  The last hour of his visit with us will be a question and answer session where you’ll get inside info directly from Darryl Strawberry himself!   Plus, FSAM will raffle off an autographed Strawberry jersey and have additional giveaways for some lucky attendees. 

What is an event at the Auto Mall without a baseball diamond sized raffle?!  Ever dream of walking up to the plate, bat in hand, and staring out at that field of green?  It’s going to happen for one of our lucky guests!  Enter to win the Ultimate Batting Practice Experience in the Bronx!  The winner will enjoy a Saturday in the Bronx where they will have lunch and take a tour of the stadium, met retired Yankee greats, and…♪♪♪DA DA DA DAT..DADA♪♪♪……get a 5 minute batting practice on the field and have it all played out on the Jumbo Tron!  An exclusive opportunity to make a childhood dream a reality!  All this courtesy of Franklin Sussex Auto Mall.

Play Ball!!!!!!!!!
