Pete Polis went from playing for the Yankees to building a drug empire out of a furniture store. Growing up in Long Island with a father in the NYPD, Pete was on the right track — drafted to play for the Blue Jays, White Sox, and Yankees. But after walking away from baseball, his life took a shocking turn. He became a pastor, took a job at a furniture store, and secretly built an intricate drug operation — eventually working with a cartel. When the feds caught up, Pete was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison. In this interview, Pete reveals how he hid his double life, what really goes on inside the drug game, and how prison led him to start over. Now sober and running a recovery house, this is the wild redemption story you don't want to miss. #TrueCrimePodcast #FederalPrisonStory #BaseballToPrison #DrugTrafficking #RedemptionStory #PrisonInterview #RecoveryJourney #LockedInPodcast Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 From Baseball Player to Dr*g Trafficker 00:06:07 Baseball Journey and Achievements 00:12:40 Law and Ethics: A Father's Influence 00:19:24 Early Baseball Career and Setbacks 00:26:00 Journey in Independent Baseball 00:32:24 Starting a Food Bank: Overcoming Challenges 00:39:09 Teaching Inmates Telemarketing Skills 00:46:29 Journey into Illegal Activities 00:53:24 Overcoming Fear and Seeking Protection 00:59:52 Uncovering a Flawless Smuggling Operation 01:05:44 Midnight Move: Avoiding Unwanted Attention 01:12:34 Escaping Federal Pursuit 01:19:23 Legal Struggles and Plea Bargains: Navigating Sentencing Options 01:25:58 Unexpected Arrest Encounter 01:32:18 From Dealer to Recovery Home Entrepreneur 01:38:34 Overcoming Addiction Through Faith and Transformation Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Wow, we take one week off, and now we have twice as much to discuss! (Makes sense.) First, the Asian baseball world mourns the passing of Yomiuri Giants legend, Shigeo Nagashima, "Mr. Pro Baseball." Then, into the nitty gritty. With June underway, it's that time of the year for the trade rumor mill to get up and running...and it seems like almost all the Asians on the Red Sox are possible trade chips. In other moves, we've got guys called up, guys on rehab stints, guys on the IL, and even a guy on a new team.In position player news, Asians are MASHING. Seiya Suzuki is the first player in MLB to reach 50 RBI, Trevor Larnach is delivering on the Twins, Kim Hyeseong stays above 400, and Tommy Edman's son Eli is the newest Asian in Baseball as he throws out the first pitch on Dada's bobblehead night. And in pitching, Tommy Sugar still leads Orioles pitching, Yusei Kikuchi and Yoshinobu Yamamoto get the Ohtani treatment, and Bryan Woo and Kodai Senga remain dominant. Lastly, Ohtani tries to have it all as a three-way player: DHing, ramping up his pitching regimen, and juggling dad life.

About 1/4 way into the Major League Baseball season, and you may not be a pro, but experts say you can train like one! We talk on this shorter episode about strengthening your core, flexibility, and faith when times get tough - when you're up to bat in life. Baseball movies teach us lessons. So does discipline when it comes to the principles of fitness and faith. One specific workout called the "hurling exercise" can help with the core aka foundation of your muscles. How about yoga? And the benefits of eating healthier? The sport is sometimes compared to a religion. Baseball's lessons include the power of teamwork and getting grace from God when we're facing those curveball, fastballs in critical moments of our lives. He can work miracles, coming up to bat for us. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast, which I hope you'll subscribe to! Share it with your friends.
