THIS IS THE SPORTS SPECTRUM PODCAST
WITH JASON ROMANO, FEATURING SCOTT SPIEZIO

Scott Spiezio played 12 MLB seasons with the Oakland A’s, Anaheim Angels, Seattle Mariners and St. Louis Cardinals. He was selected in the sixth round of the 1993 MLB Draft by Oakland and made his MLB debut in September 1996.

He was a member of two World Series championship teams in 2002 with the Angels and 2006 with the Cardinals, and he retired after the 2007 season. For many years, he battled addiction and health issues, but he was able to get sober a few years ago.

Today on the podcast, we talk to Scott Spiezio about his baseball journey, winning the World Series twice, the battle he had with addiction, God giving him a new life, and his desire now to help others.
