So folks:
Is anybody out there surprised about the names that appear in the Mitchell report about steroid/performance-enhancing substance use in baseball?
Roger Clemens? Barry Bonds? Miguel Tejada? Lenny Dykstra? No surprises there.
About the only marquee name that was somewhat of a surprise was Andy Pettitte, although considering how close he is with the Rocket, and their names being linked with the Jason Grimsley case a couple of years back, I guess it shouldn't come as that big a shock.
More than a dozen past or current Yankees made the list so I'm sure it has been a rough day in the Bronx.
Of all the names tied to the Mitchell report, the one name that jumped out at me was a name that wasn't on the list -- Mark McGwire.
I'm sure an informal poll of most baseball fans would say they believe the one-time single-season home run champ would be there. He previuously admitted to using andro, a banned substance now.
It all makes me wonder, with the nearly 100 names on the Mitchell list, just how many have got away with using these banned substances.
Just a thought.
Until next time, take care and God bless.
