Section[ Gary Bennett, Jr. ]
Gary Bennett, Jr.
Gary Bennett, Jr. is a catcher who since 1995 has played with seven teams in
Major League Baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Colorado Rockies, San Diego
Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Washington Nationals, and St. Louis Cardinals.
Radomski said that Denny Neagle referred Bennett to him. Neagle and Bennett
were teammates in 2001 and 2002 with the Colorado Rockies. Radomski recalled one
transaction with Bennett in July 2003 for two kits of human growth hormone. Radomski
produced one check from Bennett payable to Kirk Radomski in the amount of $3,200 dated
July 13, 2003. A copy is included in the Appendix and is shown below.

Bennett’s name, with an address and a telephone number, is listed in the address
book seized from Radomski’s residence by federal agents.
In order to provide Bennett with information about these allegations and to give
him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he declined.
