There could be huge implications if this guy is going to name names like he says he's going to, and he has some way of verifying his charges.

Alot of playoff contenders may find themselves pretenders with a few stars sitting out the pennant races.

One of the main reasons (the greed found among players and owners being another) why this one time baseball fanatic couldn't care less anymore.

he admitted to using human growth hormone, amphetamines and steroids.

'Frisco would love to have him.

Was Grimsley the dude who climbed through the ceiling of Comiskey Park back in 1994, snuck into the Umpires' office and switched out Albert Belle's corked bat?

The use of amphetamines is old news in baseball. Jim Bouton wrote about it in his book "Ball Four" in 1970, and said it was rampant back then. Funny, I don't remember any uproar about it like the steroid scandals now.

I wonder if the great stars of the 50's - 80's would like to take the stand and testify about the use of "greenies" in their heyday.
