Screwball (MLB PED Scandal) - Documentary Recap

All Billy Corben does is pump out quality documentaries and Screwball is just the latest in a long line of bangers. You have surely seen some of his work: Cocaine Cowboys, Broke 30 for 30, and THE U Part 1 & 2 '30 for 30' just to name a few.   This is the first of many Corben docs we plan on discussing here on the podcast, and it's one you can find on Netflix.   Screwball, which covers the Biogenesis MLB PED scandal and the cast of characters involved, might be one of his lesser known docs, but may be his best. The doc tells the story of Biogenesis founder and sort of doctor Tony Bosch and the scandal that busted him, his associates, and big time major league players like Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez at the center of the fraud.    Think you know how the dominoes started to fall in the Biogenesis scandal? This documentary will shock you as to how it all went down.    On this show, we discuss:  - How Tony Bosch became PED dealer to the sports and entertainment world - His bizarre relationship with Manny Ramirez - How a $4,000 loan went bad led to everything coming crashing down, yes a $4,000 loan! - The Rob Manfred led investigation and the seedy people MLB sought help from - If you think Alex Rodriguez is a phony that only begins to peel back the layers on him - Is Porter Fischer someone you feel bad for or is he just a loser? - much much more...
