LAKE ST. LOUIS, Mo. Former New York Mets and Yankees star Darryl Strawberry is recovering from a heart attack and is at SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital.

Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said Tuesday that Strawberry was stricken Monday, a day before the eight-time All-Stars 62nd birthday.

Strawberry posted a photo of himself at the hospital on Instagram and wrote: 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!!! Strawberry added.

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

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