• HOW ABOUT GRIMSLEY HELPING ALBERT BELLE GET AWAY WITH USING A CORKED BAT IN 1994? From Royals Retrospective blog, 3/13/07, "Jason Grimsley #96 in Top 100 Royals:"

"Grimsley bounced around from the Astros to the Indians where he was pretty terrible for some pretty good Indians teams. His greatest value lay in protecting slugger Albert Belle. In 1994, White Sox manager Gene Lamont suspected Belle of using a corked bat. The umpires confiscated Belle's bat in the umpire room to be examined by the league office. But the bat was clean and Belle was never reprimanded.

• In 1999, Grimsley finally revealed that he took a clean bat from teammate Paul Sorrento and climbed through an escape hatch in the ceiling of the clubhouse, crawled to the umpire room, and switched out the bats.

''I was asked whether I would tell the story if there would be no repercussions,'' Grimsley said. ''I figured it was about time.''"
