Hello and welcome to Crime in Sports. Yay!

Oh, yay indeed, Jimmy. Yay indeed. My name is James Petrogallum here with my co-host.

Hi, I'm Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you folks so much and immense amount for joining us today on another just

action-packed, death-defying, captivating, insane, sad story of Crime in Sports. Once again, thank you folks so much.

We're going to have a blast as usual. Today's story, Jimmy, is one of these stories where we've had people who get all the way to the mountaintop.

This is a kind of a unique story because this is a guy who by all accounts should be a hall of famer and never even made it to the majors.

Never through a pitch in the majors, but should be a hall of famer. One of the most touted people in the history of baseball.

Oh my god. And just life turned into a complete disaster to the point where he never threw a major league pitch.

Never through a pitch. So let's talk about this. A major league pitch. There's a lot of professional athletes who played baseball that really fucked it all up and never through a professional pitch.

Not one that was this highly touted. As a matter of fact, there's only one other human being on Earth in the history of time, space and baseball, who has been so highly touted and never made it to the major leagues.

Literally one other man. Listen, Otis Nixon fucked up. I don't think he threw and well, he had in a bag. A lot of good point.

But he never he never set foot in the uniform of the major league team for him on for a match. Also never through a pitch.

Never through a pitch. Now they tried. They tried. Let's get right into it. First of all, thank you guys so much.

Everybody for their iTunes reviews this week. As we say all the time, they're monstrously huge for us. So we would appreciate them if you could do that. If you have not yet, it's not a big deal.

Give us five stars. Tell us your following instructions, following directions. What you say doesn't matter. It's not for our ego. It's really just to help the show out on a business set and help us go up the charts.

It pushes us and iTunes and they're and they're funky algorithm and we all know the dance there.

I like in a grocery cart and there's a big hill and you guys are behind your pushing your reviews are pushing. They push it and there's some Harry fuck on the front.

There's out wealth. Yeah, there's a lot of those people. Harry algorithm pushing back. There's a lot of those people and unfortunately some of them even work for us. So it's really fucking it's really disturbing.

So yeah, this is a crazy episode. Do the iTunes reviews. Also, please, if you will, if you want to be one of our fine, fine, amazing beloved producers. So we're going to talk about later on people we owe our lives to you can do that very easily by going to Patreon.com slash crime in sports.
