(CBN NEWS) — Former MLB Star Darryl Strawberry says he has “a lot to be grateful for” after celebrating his 62nd birthday Tuesday–just a few hours after suffering a heart attack.
Strawberry, who was the MLB’s 1983 National League Rookie of the Year, eight-time All-Star, and three-time World Series Champion, posted a photo to Instagram of him in a hospital bed with his wife and daughter by his side.
“I have a lot to be grateful for on my 62nd birthday today, celebrating the gift of my life and love of family! We thank God for this recovery process! Blessed,” he wrote.
Just one day earlier, Strawberry told his followers that he had suffered a heart attack and that doctors at St. Joseph West in Lake St. Louis, Missouri placed a stent in his heart.
“Praising God for His amazing grace and loving mercy in saving my life this evening from a heart attack,” he wrote.
