Why did Obama have to pardon Willie? Was tax fraud involved?

    Reports say Willie had to pay a $5K fine in 1995 for not reporting income obtained from signing autographs.

    Did he not pay the fine in 1995? Or does the pardon just remove the crime from his record

    Duke Snider got nailed as well in this time frame for unreported income from autograph shows.
