Glenallen Hill first check to Radomski March 2001. Was not on Yankees after 2000. (Batted .000 in the Series)
"For the investigation, Radomski produced one check from Hill for $3,200, dated March 14, 2001,"
- From article in SantaCruzSentinel.com, Jim Seimas, 12/14/07, "Ex-MLB Outfielder Named in Mitchell Report." ***This article also states Hill met with MLB as required as he's an MLB employee.
- The AP Thumbnail on Yahoo Sports doesn't state the 2001 date of the check. Leaving out this key detail allows the reader to assume Hill used in 2000 while a Yankee.
- Both AP and the Santa Cruz paper note Hill's meeting with MLB, that he acknowledged purchasing a substance from Radomski but never used it, and had been having marital stress at that time.

- Nevertheless, you see the exact opposite written, such as this from the Santa Cruz Sentinel:
- A "key player" on the World Series team? Over the 5 games he had 3 at bats, got no hits, no walks, nothing.

What about the 16 home runs he hit during 40 regular-season games after the Yankees acquired him that summer? I would say those were pretty key to the Yankees' pennant race, no? Just because a guy didn't hit in the World Series doesn't mean he didn't matter. Otherwise, Bernie Williams and his career .208 BA in the World Series would render him as a minor cog in the title teams.

My first point was that Hill's first check to Radomski wasn't until March 2001 by which time he was no longer a Yankee. My second point was the reference in the newspaper to his participation in a world series team.
