Trump pardons former Major League Baseball star Darryl Strawberry

President Donald Trump has granted clemency to former Major League Baseball star Darryl Strawberry, according to news reports Friday.

Strawberry pleaded guilty in 1995 to tax evasion.

Trump, a White House official said, “has approved a pardon for Darryl Strawberry, three-time World Series champion and eight-time MLB All-Star,” according to CNN. 

“Mr. Strawberry served time and paid back taxes after pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion,” the official also told the news outlet, citing  his subsequent sobriety, his Christian faith, and his efforts to start a recovery center in Florida.
