NEW YORK—Former Mets catcher Mackey Sasser called an impromptu press conference last night to inform the public that he, too, has taken steroids. “Hey everyone, over here, it’s me, Mackey Sasser. Remember me? The big fat catcher from the late ’80s and early ’90s Mets teams? Mackey Sasser. Not Dave Magadan, not Howard Johnson, not Kevin McReynolds—Mackey Sasser. Well, just wanted to let you all know that, believe it or not, I, of all people—me, Mackey Sasser!—took steroids. Yessiree bob, you heard it right, I took steroids. Whaddaya know? Bet you never suspected me. Not in a million years. Mackey Sasser, taking steroids,” Sasser said. “I didn’t take amphetamines, I didn’t take human growth hormone, nope—I took the real thing. Steroids. Took ’em every day. Just thought you should know. Okay, bye.” Sasser then told reporters that he would be “standing right over here” if they had any further questions.
