Background
Darryl Strawberry is a former Major League Baseball star who played for the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, and New York Yankees. He later appeared on Celebrity Apprentice and has been active in ministry and addiction recovery advocacy.
The Case
In 1995, Strawberry pleaded guilty to federal income tax evasion in the Southern District of New York. He was sentenced to three years of probation, six months of home confinement, and 100 hours of community service. Tax evasion shifts the burden of funding public services onto other taxpayers and undermines the integrity of the tax system. The White House noted his Christian faith, ministry work, long-term sobriety, and founding of an addiction recovery center in connection with his pardon.
The Pardon
On November 7, 2025, President Trump granted Strawberry a full pardon.
