More names have leaked to various news outlets…
So far:
Roger Clemens
Andy Pettitte
Pudge Rodriguez
Gary Sheffield
Johnny Damon!!!
Albert Pujols!!!
Woohoo, I’m 6/10 already.
Nah - you’re 10 for 10. The list is getting around now…
All right, in order to keep the game from being scuppered, it looks like I need to impose a new deadline, of about now. Sorry.
The full list is getting around? Do you have a link?
It’s in the other thread.
BTW, 10/10. We needed some more restrictions.
(I was never a Mets fan, so I don’t share your pain, however…)
Don’t forget Lenny Dykstra.
I made my pick of him without seeing this post of yours. I don’t know that he did, but he would have benefited from dropped recovery time. He was dang hard on that cannon of his. I hope he didn’t though.
Pujols was fierce to defend Bonds as I recall. I was hoping I was wrong on this one.
Eric Gagne is another one. As a Canadian, I wanted to be wrong on this one too. We don’t have a whole lot of Canadians to root for.
Okay, I have the list, as culled from the PDF released by Mitchell’s office. I’m going to let people score themselves. Again, the formula is, for non-pitchers, 1 point for every home run they’ve hit, and for pitchers, career wins + career saves + (Career Ks / 10).

The format of the report is that each of the players named above has a section to himself, with evidence from witnesses, and usually documentary evidence. I should note that the report also mentions the following players somewhere in the narrative, often in passing: Manny Alexander, Mark McGwire, Ken Caminiti, Lenny Dykstra, Wally Joyner, Ricky Bones, Alex Cabrera, Juan Gonzalez, Rafael Palmeiro, Paxton Crawford, and Armando Rios (and by the way, there may be a few more that I missed). I’m going to make the more-or-less-arbitrary judgment that these players were mostly out of the closet, and don’t count toward your score.
Here’s the link
When this thread was first started, I ALMOST stated, as a joke, that the one certainty was this: no current Red Sox players would be named, because Mitchell knows where his loyalties lie.
I’m a bit freaked that I would have been right!!!
Are we really to believe that the Sox are the one squeaky clean team in sport?
Though, to be fair, Boston is hardly the only team that doesn’t have a current player on the list. Many of these guys are ex-players anyway. Boston certainly has plenty of those on the list.
If we’re hopelessly deluded, maybe.
Actually, I think Mitchell said explicitly that there were people in every organization using performance enhancing drugs.
Well, I’m not going to win this pool, with my lousy 202 points from Hundley’s lifetime HR totals. Anyone else tally up yet?
Well, you beat VarlosZ, anyway.
