Pittsburgh Drug Trials and Cocaine Use in MLB
Episode Notes
Screwballs the Podcast does our weekly check in with Lenny Dykstra and see what he's up to on Twitter. We dive head first into the Pittsburgh Drug Trials that happened in 1985 which exposed a number of players that participated in one of baseball's biggest all-time scandals, albeit one that was "behind the scenes" and did not affect play on the field. Also have you ever sh*t your pants? George Brett did. Shoutout to the Get Heavy Podcast, check out Jake on this week's episode! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're a baseball fan, whether you have played baseball, you follow it intensely, or you're just basically a fan of the game whether you played or not... then Screwballs the Podcast is for you! Based in Ventura, California, just north of Los Angeles, comedian Jake Gallo hosts Screwballs the Podcast and has immense passion and knowledge of baseball history, current and past players, and of course, the underbelly of baseball: the knuckleheads, corrupt managers, debauchery, drug-fueled players, cheaters... you get the idea hopefully. Jake is a proud Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Producer Bryan has played baseball starting from tee-ball through high school and currently helps coach his son's little league team. He has limited knowledge of current players but a lot of power at the fingertips for looking up information and clips during the show. Bryan has a rich history of 1980's Dodger/Angels experiences and is a proud Los Angeles Dodgers fan. We hope you enjoy the banter, information, and hilarity that comes with each episode as we dive into finding the best screwballs MLB has ever had!
