So, Where Are All Of Those Names From The Mets' Ex-Batboy?
Remember back in May, when there was all this hubub about the former Mets batboy, Kirk Radomski? He said he could write a book that 'would make Jose Canseco's tattling autobiography, "Juiced," seem tame'. So why haven't we heard anything since?
Remember the 31 page affidavit with all the names blacked out? To quote the Daily News:
The names of players have been redacted, but the pin is out of that grenade now. As soon as the government releases the redacted names, whether through their own devices or through former Sen. George Mitchell's investigation, the game could see its biggest calamity since the original BALCO investigation.So when is that going to happen? And why has this "explosive" story all but disappeared from the public consciousness?
Radomski has been avoiding the public eye, returning to the car wash he co-owns in Smithtown, NY, but his attorney, John Reilly, suggests there is more to come.
The Chronicle wondered this back in May:
When 14 home runs separated Barry Bonds from Hank Aaron, the former batboy who turned to steroid dealing remained anonymous. By the time the number dropped to 13, the batboy-turned-dealer had entered a plea bargain and promised to sing about major-leaguers. He wasn't tuning up for "Take Me Out to the Ballgame.''Well, Bonds is there and we still haven't heard jack crap. I haven't even seen a story on this in weeks.
What next? When the number reaches 10, will another clubhouse insider be cutting a deal? When Bonds gets to five homers, will we learn the names on the ex-batboy's client list?
Maybe the delay has something to do with another line from that Chronicle article ...
The feds accomplished something by forcing Radomski to cooperate with George Mitchell's MLB-sponsored investigation. Care to bet how long it will take for that information to be released?That's the question I want answered. As Gwen Knapp of the Chronicle so accurately ends her column, "Taxpayers have already picked up the tab for this investigation. They should know exactly what they paid for." And we probably will, but when?

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it. They still haven't said anything about the Grimsley affidavit and its been around for almost more than a year longer than the Radomski one.
