Scott Spiezio - MLB Player & 2x World Champion on The Hardest Comeback

#277: Scott Spiezio is a two-time World Series champion and former Major League Baseball player who spent 12 seasons with the Oakland Athletics, Anaheim Angels, Seattle Mariners, and St. Louis Cardinals. He is the only father-son duo to win a World Series ring with the same organization (St. Louis Cardinals). An All-American at the University of Illinois and the school’s career home run leader, Spiezio is best known for his pivotal home run in Game 6 of the 2002 World Series that helped lead the Angels to their first championship.After reaching the highest level of professional baseball, however, Spiezio's life began to unravel through alcohol addiction and substance abuse. His struggles eventually cost him his career and brought significant personal and professional consequences. Rather than hiding from that chapter of his life, Spiezio has increasingly made his story one of honesty, accountability, recovery and helping others.His new memoir, The Hardest Comeback, chronicles that journey—from childhood and baseball success to addiction, losing nearly everything, and finding a path forward to redemption. His book is one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read. His story is also the subject of the documentary SPIEZIO, premiering on September 10 in St. Louis as the city celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Cardinals' 2006 World Series championship and then will be streaming on Re-Discover TV.Scott is also available for public speaking and personal appearances. For more on Scott his book and speaking check out ScottSpiezio.com as well as social media.
