Page 163: Scott Spiezio: Former St. Louis Cardinal and World Series Champion Finds Freedom from Addiction The Unfolding

    • Christianity

When it comes to addiction, freedom comes through surrender.  Scott Spiezio had always been a “goal guy,” setting goals, working hard and finding success.  The son of a major league baseball player, he grew up with his hopes set on playing in the big leagues.  He won two World Series Championships with the Anaheim Angels and the St. Louis Cardinals in his 12 years in the major leagues.  But an injury, a move away from the tight-knit community of believers that had surrounded him, and the pressures of great success led to the crumbling of his life and career.
