#23-Randy Velarde





Came up in 87 for the Yankees and played for 16 years in the majors as a utility infielder. Played for the Yankees, Rangers and A's. Was a good glove and decent hitter. Was named in the Mitchell Report and testified in the Barry Bonds trial. Yes, he juiced which must explain his .317-16-76 in 1999. In other words he is the baseball equivalent of Scotland's Willie Johnson who was sent home during the 1974 World Cup for failing a drug test which lead to the classic line that a doped up Johnson gave "the sort of performance that gives pep pills a bad name." That's all I gots to say about him.
