#308 - Beanie Babies & Booze - The Smugness of Jim Leyritz

This week, we explore the life of an unlikely World Series hero, who took all that good will, and flushed it directly down the toilet. A love of booze & amphetamines led to a tough transition to a life, after baseball. He never quite adjusted. A very public divorce & stalking arrest tarnished his image, but that pales in comparison to the time that he killed that lady, with his car, after hanging out with Playboy models! It's a real roller coaster of a story, from underdog, that you root for, to arrogant jerk, at whom you shake your head!


Break your foot, right before the MLB draft, come from obscurity to become a World Series hero, and ruin all the admiration for you,. with several acts of stupidity with Jim Leyritz!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

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