This week, we look at a man who went from being a two time World Series champion, and the pride of his hometown, to being an embarrassment, to all concerned. His upbringing was one for the ages, complete with some things that not even we have heard about, before. His end in baseball came quickly, but his life of crime spans a good 20 years. Somehow, he thinks it's just fine to steal directly from his employers. He learns his lesson, then moves on to ripping off individuals, with some domestic disturbances, mixed in, including being stabbed by his wife, badly enough to have his stepson taken from them. An absolute mess!!

 

Have one of the oddest origin stories of any athlete, celebrate a World Series win in your rookie season, and then show yourself to be a lying, scheming, scamming very bad man, with Ken Clay!!

 

Check us out, every Tuesday!

 

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