Max Gordon: the grossest human being in college baseball

Max Gordon was told he would never play baseball again after a 2008 car crash put him in a coma for 10 days. Four months later, he won a state championship at Ashland High School, went on to play centerfield at Oregon State and made the College World Series his senior year in 2013. The story is more complex than that, though, including a bout of depression and a non-linear recovery.

Max also tells a tremendous story about how a duck carcass was involved in the 2013 series versus Oregon. Listen & find out why Max Gordon was, by his own admission, "the grossest human being in college baseball... by a lot."
