MLB is requesting that risque pictures of Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore be removed from the Internet site that posted them Sunday.
As of early this afternoon the pictures were still posted along with MLB's request from its Department of Investigation to remove them.
Sizemore told The Plain Dealer on Sunday night that the pictures were intended for his girlfriend, but were stolen from an e-mail. Sizemore is reportedly dating Brittany Binger, a former Playboy Playmate.
In part, MLB's e-mail to the Web site said, "The photos posted in the article cited below are the property of Grady Sizemore. They were stolen from a personal computer. We've begun an investigation and request that you immediately remove Mr. Sizemore's property from the posting."
The Indians released a statement today saying, "We fully support Grady as he deals with this personal matter. The posted photos were stolen from his girlfriend's e-mail account and a legal investigation is under way."
The Web site posted at least 15 pictures of Sizemore. He's fully dressed in some, wearing only underwear in others and all but nude in others. The setting for many is a bathroom with Sizemore using a cell phone to take pictures of himself into a mirror.
Sizemore is alone in all the pictures.
