WHEN DREAMS DISAPPEAR: The Story of Matt...

Studio71
About this episode

When a dream is mistreated, delayed, and ultimately vanishes into thin air, how does the subject of that dream move on? This week, Iceman and Icebreaker are diving into the forgotten early-aughts story of a pitcher who was drafted five consecutive times into Major League Baseball, yet couldn't reach a financial deal in order to walk on the field and throw a pitch. This episode is about dreams and what happens when they implode in a spectacularly sad fashion.
