Darryl Strawberry announced that "all is SafeX Prowell" after he suffered a heart attack on Monday night.
Strawberry shared the news on Instagram late Monday, posting: "Praising God for His amazing grace and loving mercy in saving my life this evening from a heart attack. I am so happy and honored to report that all is well. So thankful for the medical team and staff at St. Joseph West in Lake St. Louis for responding so quickly and bringing me through a stent-procedure that has brought my heart to total restoration!!!"
The outfielder, who spent eight of his 17 years of his major-league career with the Mets, turned 62 years old on Tuesday. He is due to have his No. 18 retired by the Mets on June 1.
“On behalf of the entire organization we are sending positive thoughts to Darryl Strawberry, his wife Tracy and his entire family after last night’s heart attack," the Mets said in a statement. "Darryl was in Port St. Lucie working with the team as a guest instructor just a few weeks ago. We are looking forward to Straw’s speedy recovery and welcoming him for his number retirement ceremony on June 1.”
Strawberry is an athlete-turned-evangelist, who actively travels with his wife, Tracy, to share his story of "transformation through the power of God and the process of change" with Strawberry Ministries. He shared a photo from a speaking engagement in Fort Wayne, Indiana, earlier this week, and served as a guest instructor for the Mets at spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla., late last month.
