In his latest film Screwball, Billy takes a hilarious and irreverent look into the bizarre story that brought one of Major League Baseball’s biggest stars together with a fake doctor with one of them landing in jail and both of them disgraced…and all over a $4000 transaction gone wrong.
Billy called into the WDHA Morning Jolt to chat with Jim Monaghan and John Hodorovych about the film and the characters in it.
