Steroids and HGH While with the Red Sox

" 'One time [in 2001], I walked right into the Red Sox clubhouse with a bunch of needles wrapped in a towel and left them on my chair. A few minutes later, one of my teammates came running over, saying, �Paxton, someone knocked your chair over and your freaking needles are all over the floor!� Man, we just died about that. He said it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen, told me I was nuts. But that's the way it was back then.' � -- Paxton Crawford in ESPN The Magazine
