Denny Neagle

Denny Neagle pitched for six teams in Major League Baseball between 1991 and

2003, the Minnesota Twins (1 season), Pittsburgh Pirates (5 seasons), Atlanta Braves

(3 seasons), Cincinnati Reds (2 seasons), New York Yankees (part of 1 season), and Colorado

Rockies (3 seasons). He has played on two All-Star teams.

Radomski said he met Neagle at a club in New York City in 2000 when Neagle

played for the Yankees. After they met, Neagle called Radomski “looking for HGH.” Neagle

seemed familiar with human growth hormone. Radomski said that from 2000 to 2004 he

engaged in five or six transactions with Neagle involving human growth hormone and anabolic

steroids. Neagle always paid by check. At one point, Neagle had another major league player

send a check to Radomski because that player owed Neagle money. Radomski stated that he

never sold human growth hormone or steroids to the other player.

In addition to the other player’s check, Radomski produced copies of eight checks

from or on behalf of Neagle. All are included in the Appendix. One is shown below.

Radomski also produced a check from Dan McGinn, Baseball Account, Coors

Field, 2001 Blake St., Denver, Colorado 80205, in the amount of $1,600. The memo line on the

check says “Neagle.” At the time, McGinn was a clubhouse attendant with the Colorado

Rockies. Radomski said that the check was in payment for performance enhancing substances

purchased from him by Neagle. McGinn is no longer employed by the Rockies and did not

respond to our requests for an interview.

Neagle’s name, with the address “Col. Rockies Clubhouse” and several telephone

numbers, is listed in the address book that was seized from Radomski’s home by federal agents.

In order to provide Neagle with information about these allegations and to give

him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me. He did not respond to my request.
