This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by former Kansas City Royals slugger Willie Mays Aikens.
Willie tells the boys about his baseball career on and off the diamond, the cocaine addiction that sent him to prison and being reunited with his 1980 American League Championship ring after more than 30 years.
