Former White Sox pitcher Kevin Hickey defied the odds again and again in his life, getting a contract with the White Sox on a tryout in 1978 and later receiving a World Series ring in 2005. It's a surreal journey that you have to hear to believe. Chuck Garfien speaks with Kevin's brother Tom about Kevin's upbringing, growing up two blocks away from Comiskey Park (1:30), the stories behind his White Sox tryout despite never playing organized baseball (5:45), his major league debut in 1981 (10:30), notorious bar fights (13:00), teaching Charlie Sheen how to pitch for the movie Major League 2 (22:00), getting a job with the White Sox (25:10), his part in the A.J. Pierzynski/Michael Barrett fight (28:30) and much more.
