Darryl Strawberry now there's a name I haven't heard in a while lol, JFC. Seems pretty clear he or someone is selling pardons.
Maybe not, this one could have been a freebie. Trump is from Queens and his mind is permanently stuck in the 80's. Darryl was a star for the Mets in the 80s and probably one of the few baseball players his dementia addled brain can remember.
That had crossed my mind as well hahaha.
Honestly, if Trump was gonna give anyone a pardon from the 86 Mets, my money would have been on Lenny Dykstra. Not because he deserves one, but his transgressions (fraud, money laundering, indecent exposure, racist taunts) are all things Trump thinks are not real crimes.
In fact, before writing this I had to go and check and make sure he was not only still alive, but also not still in jail. I guess he had a stroke last year, though, which still makes me sad, even though he turned out to be not the nicest person. I remember that walk-off HR in the 86 World Series like it was yesterday.
