Strawberry recovering after heart attack

Former New York Mets and Yankees star Darryl Strawberry is recovering from a heart attack.

Mets spokesperson Jay Horwitz said Tuesday Strawberry was stricken Monday, a day before the eight-time allstar’s 62nd birthday.

Strawberry posted a photo of himself in a hospital on Instagram and wrote: “I am so happy and honoured 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!!!” Strawberry added.

Strawberry, who lives in Missouri, is resting comfortably, Horwitz said.

The Mets will retire Strawberry’s No. 18 on June 1, after retiring Dwight Gooden’s No. 16 on April 14. The pair led the team to the 1986 World Series title.

Strawberry was a seven-time all-star during his time with the Mets, but his career was derailed by drug and alcohol issues.

Later, colon cancer treatment caused Strawberry to miss the 1998 World Series with the Yankees.

Yankees star Aaron Judge expects to be ready for opening day on March 28 after an MRI exam of his abdomen.

Judge started feeling discomfort with his abdomen during his swing’s follow-through about a week ago and the 31-year-old has not taken on-field batting practice the past few days. He last played Sunday, striking out in both at-bats, and said he expects to resume swinging a bat this week.

“We ran tests. Everything comes back good,” Judge said Tuesday. “A little banged up. The most important thing is opening day, and I’d rather take some days now and be smart about it.”

Judge is “pretty sure” he will ready for the opener at Houston. He continues defensive drills and running.
