    The Bali Nine, Eric Kay & the Drug Culture Killing Pro Sports | Signal 51 Chronicles
    Jun 29 2026

    In this episode of Signal 51 Chronicles, hosts John Henry and Jake White dive deep into the tragic death of Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, uncovering how a culture of drug use within professional baseball led to a devastating fentanyl overdose in a Southlake hotel room. The duo breaks down the criminal case against Angels communications director Eric Kay, who received a 22-year federal prison sentence for distributing the counterfeit oxycodone pill that killed Skaggs, while raising hard questions about organizational accountability and whether Kay was made a fall guy by the franchise. Jake White, a retired law enforcement sergeant, also shares a candid insider perspective on the failures of drug enforcement, the revolving door of the justice system, and why decades of the war on drugs have yielded little progress. The episode also features a tasting segment covering the last meal requests of the Bali Nine, two of whom were executed by firing squad in Indonesia for heroin smuggling.
