The list of famous names of major-league baseball players implicated in connection with steroids in the Mitchell Report includes Mike Lansing, a name familiar to Casper baseball fans.

Lansing, a Rawlins native who played Legion ball in Casper, played nine years in Major League Baseball with Montreal, Colorado and Boston. The home field of the Casper Ghosts, the Class A Rookie League affiliate of the Casper Rockies, and of the American Legion Casper Oilers is named after Lansing.

The report was the culmination of a 20-month investigation by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and included a few surprises, in addition to Lansing's name.

Some 80 players were fingered in the report, including seven MVPs, seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, All-Stars Miguel Tejada and Andy Pettite, and - not surprisingly - home run king Barry Bonds.

The report said Lansing engaged in five "small transactions" with former Major League clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski. The report said Lansing bought testosterone and one kit of human growth hormone.

According to the report, "Radomski said that Lansing was familiar with testosterone and 'knew exactly what he wanted.'"

Radomski had two $1,000 money orders signed by Lansing, both dated Feb. 5, 2002.

The report said Lansing did not respond to a request to meet with Mitchell.

Matt Warneke, general manager of the Casper Ghosts, said Thursday that there are no plans to change the name of Mike Lansing Field.

"As far as Mike Lansing Field, that's what the stadium's going to stay named," he said.

Added Tom Forslund, Casper city manager and avid rotisserie player: "I think he came through the youth baseball program and obviously had a lot of talent and was able to leverage that talent into a career in pro baseball. You shouldn't take anything away from that accomplishment.

"He makes his own personal choices and you'll have to ask him about his decisions. I'm not one to judge him on it."

Lansing was a multi-sport star at Natrona County High School, which he graduated from in 1986. He played baseball at Wichita State before being drafted in the sixth round of the 1990 draft. He played Major League baseball from 1993-2001.
