Manor, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/11/2016 -- Richie Lewis, a former Major League Baseball Player, who has been fraught with depression ever since that incident of having injuries which deterred him from pursuing his baseball career after seven seasons in the big leagues, gets support from Deion Sanders who is a former college teammate of Lewis. Sanders who was in between tears in an interview with Dr. Phil Show expressed how Lewis has been influential to him being the best pitcher in the country and the life of their team.

Lewis has become an "embarrassment to his family" due to his drinking problem. His son McKenzie even mentioned that he hates his drunk dad. He even stated that he doesn't know his father anymore as a sober and functioning person.

Lewis on the other hand, has been denying all of these and said in an interview with Dr. Phil that he doesn't live his life as a drunkard.

In the same interview, Sanders pleaded his friend Lewis to accept the help that Dr. Phil is offering before it's too late for him to recover.

As can be noted, this is not the first time a famous player like Lewis experienced the same alcohol problem. Alcoholism is a common problem with famous people, especially those who have experienced fame and then were suddenly vanished from the limelight due to varied reasons.
