For years, people wondered just who was on the list of 104 names who tested positive during baseball’s trial run of steroids testing back in 2003. But because the names were supposed to be kept private, and the players’ association was told it could be destroyed, everyone figured that it would never make it into the public eye.
That was the case, of course, until the stunning report from Sports Illustrated that Alex Rodriguez – until that point the “clean” pursuer of the all-time home run mark that Barry Bonds currently holds – was on the list, and had used performance-enhancing drugs. In the months that have followed, further leaks have come from that list. First was Sammy Sosa, who, given his Popeye-like arms with the Cubs and ridiculous home run totals, came as little surprise to many. But then a bigger shock to the system came today, when the two biggest characters on the 2004 Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, were said to be on the list in a report by the New York Times.
