#363 - Public Housing Superstar - Vida Blue

This week, we look at a legendary baseball player, who had skill, style, a really nasty fastball, and an appetite for cocaine, and driving drunk. He was plagued by playing for one of the cheapest owners in history, even qualifying for public housing, while having an MVP & Cy Young Award winning season, while this owner tried to get him to change his name to something more marketable. Life looked bright, but he couldn't get out of his own way. Did he ever turn it around? A crazy tale of 1970s living, even when it's the not the 1970s!!


Get paid in Cadillacs, be in the middle of a federal drug investigation, and have a very strange middle name with Vida Blue!!


Check us out, every Tuesday!


We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
