Hello, everybody, and welcome back to crime and sports.

Yay!

Oh, yay indeed, Jimmy.

Yay indeed.

My name is James Petro Gallo.

I'm here with my co-host.

I'm Jimmy Wiseman.

Thank you, folks, so much for joining us again on another crazy edition of crime and sports. This starts

another series that we're going to start here. I've been waiting for this one for years.

It's just so much fun. We're going to do Billy Martin here. And if you don't know who Billy

Martin is because he died, I want to say a long time ago, spoiler alert, but he's not alive now.

So if you don't know who he is, he is one of the biggest characters who's ever existed in sports. We'll put it that way. He's like the evil can evil of baseball. There's a good way to put it. He's insane. He commits multiple felonies on a daily basis. Whether he's caught or not, it doesn't matter. He's just constantly doing crazy shit. He's a lunatic. And he was also an amazing baseball manager and great player too. And just a wild, wild individual who... There's a lot of quotes of his, right? Oh, my God. Tons of quotes because he said a lot of, he just said what the fuck he thought.

He said it was on his mind. Steinbrenner fired him like 12 times and hired him 11 more and then like, it's crazy. But he would fight like team officials and players on his, he's insane. He's an insane person. So we'll get to all of that very quickly. but before we do that, definitely head on over to shut up and give me murder.com.
