Hammered Heroes (And Villains) takes a deep dive look at the best performances by professional athletes while they were drunk, on drugs, or horribly hungover. Each week, comedians Brendan Fitzgibbons and Sophie Santos discuss a game or incident that focuses on an athlete’s mind-blowing performance despite being extremely hammered. Whether it's the Bulls' "Traveling Cocaine Circus," David Wells’ infamous half-drunk perfect game, Wade Boggs' 73-beer binge on a cross-country flight, and Charles Barkley playing drunk after day drinking because…well…I guess you’ll have to listen to find out! We’ll raise a glass to the very best in inebriated athletics. It's Drunk History meets 30 for 30 meets Jackass.
On this episode, Brendan and Sophie are joined by Erica Tamposi (host of the Broadcast Podcast and host for the Los Angeles Rams, and former host of the NFL network's Fantasy League One show)! They discuss HOF, seven-time World Series champ, and glizzy lover, BABE RUTH. The discuss whether or not he chewed tobacco at age five, the time The Yankees hired a secret detective to spy on him, and (should we say it?), The CURSE of the Bambino. Plus, the time The White Sox tried to get him obliterated on punch, and the next day he ended up hitting two home runs.
