Astros legend Jeff Bagwell opens up about alcohol struggle

In a revealing interview with Paper City Magazine, Houston Astros Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell reveals his intense struggle with alcohol and how he hopes by opening up, he can help someone else with their personal struggle.

Bagwell played 15 seasons for the Astros in his Hall of Fame career, winning the 1994 MVP Award, and is the leader in home runs in franchise history. He was also a four-time All Star, a three-time Silver Slugger Award winner, a Rookie of the Year and a Gold Glove Winner. He later served as the hitting coach for the Astros in 2010 before deciding to take a break after that season ended.
