The Mitchell Report just got released, and what has most people talking is the fact that it names names. And how shocking some of those named names are.

Dick Pole - Pitcher in the ‘70s
As he is being taken out of the game: “It looks like Dick Pole is getting yanked.”

Pete LaCock - Baseball player in the ‘70s
After a hit: “That’s some sweet stroke on that LaCock.”

Boobie Clark - Football player in the ‘70s
“The fans couldn’t take their eyes off that big Boobie all game.”
