The Pittsburgh Cocaine Seven How a Ragtag

"The Pittsburgh Cocaine Seven" tells the whole story behind the biggest drug trial in baseball's history in all its shocking details. While Keith Hernandez, Dave Parker, Lee Mazzilli, Dusty Baker, Lonnie Smith, Joaquin Andujar, John Milner, and Dale Berra were mentioned as cocaine users, the men who took the fall for these superstars were just average fans, not heavy hitters or major drug dealers.

Aaron J. Skirboll has built strong working relationships with the participants of this case: from the FBI agents, US attorneys, defense lawyers, journalists, former baseball executives, and doctors who were involved, to the dealers themselves.
