Mitchell Report: No Evidence v Jason Grimsley while a Yankee (sorry)

"Radomski produced 14 checks written by Grimsley from

* June 2, 2001, through July 29, 2005,

totaling $35,400. Grimsley's name, with several addresses and

telephone numbers, is listed in an address book seized by federal

agents."

Report," published on Yahoo Sports

P.S. If you'd like to imagine something else, then imagine all the

players who weren't mentioned at all. (sm) Or this:

* HOW ABOUT GRIMSLEY HELPING ALBERT BELLE GET AWAY WITH USING A

CORKED BAT IN 1994? From Royals Retrospective blog, 3/13/07,

"Jason Grimsley #96 in Top 100 Royals:"

"Grimsley bounced around from the Astros to the Indians where he was

pretty terrible for some pretty good Indians teams. His greatest value

lay in protecting slugger Albert Belle. In 1994, White Sox manager

Gene Lamont suspected Belle of using a corked bat. The umpires

confiscated Belle's bat in the umpire room to be examined by the

league office. But the bat was clean and Belle was never reprimanded.

* In 1999, Grimsley finally revealed that he took a clean bat from

teammate Paul Sorrento and climbed through an escape hatch in the

ceiling of the clubhouse, crawled to the umpire room, and switched

out the bats.

''I was asked whether I would tell the story if there would be no

repercussions,'' Grimsley said. ''I figured it was about time.''"
