David Wells on drug use in the MLB…
So I guess it’s good to know that you can get candid commentary on what happens behind the scenes in the bigs… but the admissions and candor in Wells’s autobiography is just frightening.
Wells also admits he was “half-drunk” and had a “raging, skull-rattling hangover” when he pitched his perfect game against Minnesota in May 1998, having stayed at the Saturday Night Live season-ending party until 5 a.m., eight hours before gametime.
From the linked article
He goes on to talk about how he couldn’t care less if players take uppers to improve their ability to ‘back him up’. It’s enough to make you sick.
I realize these guys are held to a higher standard then perhaps they are capable of living up to, but it’s really ridiculous that this kind of substance abuse is considered acceptable in the game.
