This episodes guest is the infamous Tony Bosch. Tony is one of the all-time "villain's" in Major League Baseball history. Tony was literally the man behind-the-needle of the largest steroid and PED scandal in MLB baseball history. 

I first learned about Tony a few weeks ago while watching a baseball documentary titled "Screwball" that is currently available on Netflix. Screwball is the story of how Tony was quite literally the man behind the needle of the largest steroid and PED scandal in MLB baseball history.
