Summary
This week, we have an extra long episode, full of extra crime, and stupidity, featuring a man that has been weaving in, and out of legal troubles for five decades. He goes from having one of the best seasons in baseball history, to decades of scandal, and prison, for things like bookmaking, cocaine distribution, extortion, money laundering, fugitive smuggling, and much more, including a Secret Service investigation into his involvement with, and cheating of, some of the biggest names in the mafia, including the Gottis. He's led a life of pure disaster, and we bring it to you for your pleasure. It's a sordid tale of one man, screwing up his life, and the lives of many, many others, as much as one man possibly could.Fire up your plane, tune up the ol' organ, and screw up your life like nobody in history with Denny Mclain!!Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!
