Dodgy Denny McLain – Sports Bizarre

Few players have burned so bright and fallen so far as Detroit Tigers Denny McLain.

In 1968, 'The Year of the Pitcher', Denny would win 30 games, a World Series, release a record through Capitol Records, Denny McLain at the Organ and drink 24 bottles of Pepsi daily.

The fall was fast; it involved fraud, the mafia, his house burning down, and jail time.

Titus O'Reily and Mick Molloy looked at an athlete as brilliant as he was dodgy.
