This week, we take a break from our Billy Martin series, to bring you a bonus episode, that is more relevant than ever, right now. Mixing otherwordly talent, with the black cloud of gambling allegations, hanging over head, makes this as crazy a story as we've talked about. Did the greatest talent, in the game of baseball, the modern day face of game, actually commit acts that should have him banned for life, while everyone is happy to blame a lowly interpreter, for everything??? We look into the scandal that surrounded Shohei Ohtani!!
This episode was recorded in April of 2024, and put out as part of our Patreon bonus feed. To get all the bonus eps & ad free versions of all of our podcasts, go to patreon.com/crimeinsports

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