Watching the steroid hearings, one phrase comes to mind: witch hunt. Why only baseball players? If you wanted to eliminate performance enhancing drugs, why not also call up track and field players? So Canseco releases Juiced, and so suddenly Congress feels it needs to step in with oversight of baseball?
McGwire’s performance was bad, but really, the whole idea is terrible. And on Sportscenter, Buster Olney was complaining that Selig has “somehow” become the target instead of Fehr - hey, MLB benefited from the McGwire-Sosa summer of 1998, I’m tired of hearing that it’s only the players who’re culpable.
Sigh. Can’t wait till teams actually play ball.
