I asked someone who played on that 1975 team about Mike Shropshire’s story that a female reporter got “gangbanged” in the clubhouse shower. The player asked not to be identified. Here’s what he said:
“If it happened, it had to have happened before or after I was in the clubhouse. It absolutely did not happen during normal hours (noon until say 11:00 pm). And if it did happen, it is one of the best-kept secrets in the history of baseball, a sport not known for keeping any secrets. To suggest that a female reporter had sex in the shower with five players, one would have to assume that there were others around, like the clubhouse managers, coaches, or other players, in which case that escapade is not a secret for very long. In a word, if I had to say whether or not that ever happened, I would easily say NO.”
