(CBS/AP) Former members of the Los Angeles Dodgers have been named in Senator Mitchell's report on steroid use in baseball.

Included in the report are documents obtained by the committee that include personal checks and even notes written on Dodger Stadium letterhead.

The former Dodgers included in the report are:

Kevin Brown: A veteran starter, Brown pitched for six teams between 1986 and 2005, including the Rangers, Padres, Marlins, Dodgers, Orioles and Yankees.

He played in six All-Star games, was the Padres' player of the year in 1998 and the Dodgers' player of the year in 1999. In the report: Brown was placed on the disabled list in June 2001 with a neck injury and in July 2001 with an elbow injury. After Brown got hurt, he called Radomski and asked for human growth hormone. Radomski sent HGH to Brown and in return received a package containing $8,000 in cash. According to Radomski, over the next two or three years he sold performance enhancing substances to Brown five or six times. Radomski recalled that Brown usually purchased multiple kits of HGH, paying with cash. At one point, Brown asked Radomski for Deca-Durabolin to help with an ailing elbow, and Radomski sold it to him.

Chris Donnels:   Donnels played parts of eight seasons as an infielder 1991-02 with the New York Mets, Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Arizona Diamondbacks. In the report: Radomski sold HGH and steroids to Donnels from 2000-04. Radomski produced eight checks and money orders from Donnels. The earliest was dated Nov. 29, 2001 and the latest June 23, 2004; they totaled $9,950.

Eric Gagne:  Closer and three-time All-Star for the Los Angeles Dodgers who won NL Cy Young in 2003 after 55 saves. Signed with Milwaukee in December.

In the report: Although he is not sure when, Radomski recalled that Gagne's Dodgers teammate, Paul Lo Duca, called Radomski and told him that Gagne wanted to buy human growth hormone.

Radomski said the only time he spoke to Gagne was when the closer asked him how to get air out of a syringe and that Lo Duca thereafter placed orders on Gagne's behalf.
 
Radomski said that he mailed two shipments to Gagne, each consisting of two kits of human growth hormone. One was sent to Gagne's home in Florida.

The other was sent to Dodger Stadium. When the Boston Red Sox considered acquiring Gagne after the 2006 season, general manager Theo Epstein emailed a scout to ask, "Have you done any digging on Gagne? I know the Dodgers think he was a steroid guy. Maybe so. What do you hear on his medical?" The scout, Mark Delpiano, responded that "steroids IS the issue.

Has had a checkered medical past throughout career including minor leagues. Lacks the poise and commitment to stay healthy, maintain body and re invent self."




Matt Herges: '99-'01, Herges was a big part of the Dodgers' bullpen. Herges spent seven seasons in the minors before the Dodger called him up in '99.

Phil Hiatt: In 2001 had 50 AB's for the Dodgers. In four big league seasons, Hiatt hit 13 HR

Todd Hundley: Two stints with the Dodgers, '99-'00 and '03. Was the first visiting player to hit a home run into McCovey Cove in SF.

Paul Lo Duca: Catcher was a teammate of Gagne's with the Dodgers, where he broke out with a 25-homer season in 2001 and batted .320. He hasn't approached those numbers since; 13 homers and a .286 average in 2004 are the closest he came. He went to Florida during the 2004 season, and came to the New York Mets before 2006.

In the report: Radomski estimated that he engaged in six or more transactions with Lo Duca, sending human growth hormone to Lo Duca's home or the Dodgers' clubhouse. Notes of a discussion among Dodgers officials in October 2003 indicated that the general belief was that he was no longer using steroids, adding: "Took away a lot of hard line drives."





Adam Riggs: Once a top prospect in the Dodger system. Got 20 AB's for the Dodgers in 1997. Also played for the Angels in 2003,2004.

F.P. Santangelo: Played with Dodgers in 2000. Currently a sports radio talk show host.

Gary Sheffield: Hit 25 homers this season. Nine-time All-Star has 480 career HRs after 20 years. Told HBO he took the "clear" and the "cream," two designer steroids distributed by BALCO, but said he didn't know they were steroids. "Steroids is something you shoot in your butt," he said. Once worked out with Barry Bonds, then had a falling-out with the star.

In the report: The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Sheffield testified when he was training with Barry Bonds before the 2002 season, Bonds had "arranged for him to receive 'the cream, 'the clear' and red beans,' which prosecutors identified as steroid pills manufactured in Mexico. Sheffield reportedly was never told that the substances he was given were steroids. In his book, Sheffield claimed he did not know the cream he received was a steroid and asserted he "never touched a strength-building steroid in (his) life -- and never will."


Ismael Valdez: Went 104-105 in a 12-year career that ended in 2005. In the report: Valdez bought $11,300 worth of growth hormone and other performance-enhancing drugs in 2002 from the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center after he was traded from Texas to Seattle, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
