About this episode
Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell, class of 2017, sits down with Jon Paul Morosi to discuss his emotional journey to Cooperstown. From being drafted and eventually traded by his hometown Boston Red Sox to the "insane" steps it took to play with a severely injured shoulder and a battle with alcoholism that continued after his playing career, Bagwell details what it took, both on and off the field, to end up as one of baseball's all-time greats.
