Tim and Steve

It would not only threaten Pittsburgh’s opportunity to win a championship, but would also tear apart the life of a rising baseball superstar forever. In this episode we will tell the sad and often forgotten story of a Pirates pitcher whose descent into darkness had huge ramifications both on and off the field.
