The Approach Shot

OTIS NIXON stole a lot of bases, and will steal your heart with his story of rebirth and recovery


Listen Later

It's one thing to be one of greatest base stealers in MLB history and a fan favorite. It's another to fall from grace, struggle with drugs, addiction and public ridicule for your actions.

OTIS NIXON recovers "out loud", sharing his ups and downs, and how his recovery has fueled his desire to help kids who are facing touch challenges in their lives.

It's hard enough to face "Pudge" Rodriguez when trying to steal a base. It's quite another to face your demons openly and turn your experiences into a way to help others.

This is a very real and very uplifting episode of The Approach Shot.
