Baseball is back in full swing for the 2023 MLB season, but this episode we're heading back to the time of home run races and the "steroid era." Nine-time Emmy winner, David Sams, sits down with former MLB relief pitcher, Jason Grimsley. Jason played for seven teams over a memorable 15-year career. He was also a part of the 1999 and 2000 World Series champion New York Yankees. But Jason's life was anything but easy. Jason shares his story of depression, near-suicide, the controversy surrounding the infamous doping scandal of 2007 and FBI raid on his home; and how he ultimately found God's love as shared in his new book, "Cross Stitched: From Ruin to Restoration".
