Jason Grimsley is going to be the most hated man in baseball. The 15-year veteran not only admitted to using steroids but also started naming names of current players he suspects are on steroids or HGH, including some “close acquaintances”.
Among his disclosures were:
* Until last year, major league clubhouses had coffee pots labeled “leaded” and “unleaded” for the players, indicating coffee with amphetamines and without.* Latin players are a major source for the amphetamines within baseball.
* Amphetamines also come from players on California teams that could easily go into Mexico and get them.
Amphetamines in baseball is nothing new. There have been countless books indicating that “greenies” have been part of baseball for the past 40 years and, of course, owners and managers have looked the other way. However, this is the first time we’ve heard of the “leaded” coffee.
