“Praising God for His amazing grace and loving mercy in saving my life this evening from a heart attack,” he wrote in the social media post. “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!!! Your prayers are so absolutely appreciated as I continue to recover, in Jesus Name!”

He turned 62 on Tuesday.
The Mets selected Strawberry with the No. 1 overall pick of the 1980 draft, and he was called up to the big leagues for the 1980 season. He was named National League Rookie of the Year in his first season and was an All-Star eight times after that.
Strawberry suffered from health issues and drug problems over the course of his life. He underwent chemotherapy for colon cancer in 1998 and needed a tumor removed near his kidney in 2000.
