Default Sammy Stewart

I grew up with a lot of autograph collectors who worked on sets like this and I admire their patience and hard work.
I always liked Sammy Stewart. In an article below he says he started doing crack in my home town. There's a huge gang presence and drug problem especially on the South side. I recall him getting busted in the late 90's (years after his career was over) with an Mac-10 or something under the seat while trolling the streets early morning for dope. He listed his occupation as MLB player. It was the beginning of a sad tale of addiction & prison.
I wish him well and advise everyone to avoid the South side when in Framingham:
Sammy's quote:
"The first time I ever smoked crack was in Framingham, Mass.," says Stewart, serving at least six years at the Piedmont Correctional Institution for being a habitual felon, felony drug possession, and failure to appear in court on a felony charge.
