Bill Melton's baseball career is the stuff of legend--some for what happened on the field, but also for what happened off of it. The former White Sox slugger speaks with Chuck Garfien about winning the 1971 home run crown on the final day of the regular season--this after partying on Rush Street in Chicago into the wee hours the night before (8:00). He had a huge public battle with then White Sox play-by-play announcer Harry Caray (23:00), he partied at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Club (27:00), hung out with Frank Sinatra (30:00), fought with his former Angels manager Dick Williams (40:00). Melton tells these stories and many more about the wild days of playing major league baseball in the 1970's. Plus, you'll hear a lost interview from 1971 when Brent Musburger interviewed Melton right after he became the home run king.
