He's a 2x Cy Young Winner, a World Series champion and the 1985 World Series MVP. He's also a 3 time All Star and a Gold Glove winner. So BRET SABERHAGEN would be an amazing guest even if all we did was talk about his baseball career.

But he turned his love for golf and for his wife Kandace into a phenomenal charity called SabesWings. SabesWings' goal is to strike out medical financial toxicity. Translation? They help people suffering from cancer to pay their everyday bills so that a cancer patient doesn't have to decide between paying for treatment or paying their rent.

It's an amazing organization that he and Kandace pour their souls into and we talk about their upcoming event in October in Central California to help raise funds and awareness on this very special episode of The Approach Shot.

It's one thing to be one of greatest base stealers in MLB history and a fan favorite. It's another to fall from grace, struggle with drugs, addiction and public ridicule for your actions.

OTIS NIXON recovers "out loud", sharing his ups and downs, and how his recovery has fueled his desire to help kids who are facing touch challenges in their lives.

It's hard enough to face "Pudge" Rodriguez when trying to steal a base. It's quite another to face your demons openly and turn your experiences into a way to help others.

This is a very real and very uplifting episode of The Approach Shot.

Here are some odd subjects you may not expect to hear from TOM BERGERON, but are here in this episode of The Approach Shot:

• Calling Australia on his radio show to hear the toilet flush
• Talking with 2 of the 3 Stooges when he was 16 years old, because he felt like it
• The horror of hearing your producer tell you to help with a "nip slip"
• His self admitting nerd-dom

Yes, of course we get into "Dancing With the Stars", sure we talk about "America's Funniest Home Videos", of course we talk "AFV", but there's so much more to our discussion with TOM BERGERON. It's one of our absolute favorite episodes ever, and will be yours too.
