Hopefully there won't be any prominent Red Sox players, what with them being prime examples of the *******n sporting ideal and all Of the current lot, some think Varitek could be on it. For former players, perhaps Nomar Garciaparra and Trot Nixon.

Apparently Roger Clemens is a cert to be named, and one can assume Gary Sheffield would be there etc

(edit)O l y m p i a is censored??!

Its censored due to a dispute between boards and the owner of a certain Dublin venue.
As for Steroids...Of former Red Sox, I'd also say Millar could be possible. Can't believe Troy Glaus got away with it....
I see the Jays might sign Eckstein....poor ol' Johnny Mac...Sure he can't hit for nuts but so great to watch.

Mad!....just mad.

And no doubt this was just the tip of the iceberg.. imagine if the players actually spoke up about the whole issue. you have to believe that alot more players were on some stuff.. Gagne is an interesting one that maybe some of us should have seen.. guy becomes superstar closer overnight and his decline in the last couple of years is just as staggering.. Clemens is no surprise to anyone, i think that should rubber stamp his retirement!! How about the Orioles timing of the Tejada trade?? Wonder if they got a leak and figured his trade value would diminish..

Pettitte has admitted he took HGH twice in 2002, conveniently before it was outlawed by MLB..

Clemens continues to strenously deny he ever took anything, which is pretty unbelievable just looking at his numbers.
