Sorry, no music but you know the tune!

12 Names of Mitchell

With 12 Days left 'til Christmas, Senator Mitchell gave to me:

Waiting is the hardest part

12 backup catchers syringing

11 utility infielders 'roiding

10 pitchers buying HGH over the internet

9 guys who "used it for injuries"

8 Scott Boras clients

7 non power-hitting first basemen

6 or more would have been Hall of Famers

5 All-Stars on 'the cream'

4 guys we already knew about

3 players who just got traded

2 guys it didn't help

... and an All-Star shortstop with 4 rings!!!

I bet it has more clubhouse attendants named than players... not that I know anything in particular or anything... (shifts eyes in a shady manner from side to side)

And he played for the Yankees from about '96-2000? I'm going to have to go with Luis Sojo then.

Since you helped me galvanize this bad boy, I'll give you co-author credit if you like?

I appreciate the gracious offer, but no need. Maybe it should go to JuT for providing the inadvertent inspiration.

Yeah, he double listed his numbers on the other post and I read it like he was saying "5 Paul O'Niells, 4 Scott Brosiuses 3 Homer Bushes", etc...

Of course, it most likely helped everyone - even the guys who took it and still sucked probably wouldn't have even been in the big leagues at all without it.
