Sheffield was among the stars named in the Mitchell Report on the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Sheffield FedEx receipt to BALCO in February 2003 was cited by federal agents for their search warrant on Greg Anderson’s condominium. The report also cited physical evidence of steroid use by an unnamed person or people connected to the Tigers in 2004. Sheffield has admitted using a cream he got from Anderson but said in a 2004 interview with Sports Illustrated that he did not knowingly use steroids.
Most people believe that Gary Sheffield's best season was 2003, when he slugged 39 home runs, hit for a .330 average and knocked in 132 runs.
