 Trump pardons Darryl Strawberry for 1995 tax evasion

Former New York Mets star Darryl Strawberry received a full presidential pardon from Donald Trump for his 1995 tax evasion case. Strawberry announced the news Friday on Instagram, sharing that Trump personally called him Thursday afternoon to deliver the clemency.

Strawberry said the president spoke warmly about his baseball career and praised his contributions to the Mets before informing him of the pardon. In 1995, Strawberry pleaded guilty to tax evasion, paid $350,000 in back taxes, and was sentenced to three years’ probation, avoiding jail time. Over the years, Strawberry faced additional legal issues, including a 2002 probation violation for cocaine possession that led to an 11-month prison term. Since then, he has dedicated himself to helping others with recovery and sobriety. Strawberry played 17 MLB seasons, earning three World Series titles, eight All-Star selections, two Silver Slugger Awards, and saw his No. 18 retired by the Mets.
