A large check could be a cumulative payment for going to McDonalds several times over the course of a week or a month. Or it could be payment for slipping a comely fan the players phone number. The point is that players routinely tip club house guys for any number of things so unless the player was stupid enough to write "steroids" on the memo line there is reasonable doubt as to what the checks were for.
