Selig is shocked... SHOCKED!.. that MLBers were using roids... yeah, about as shocked as Vince McMahon was when he found out that WWF wrestlers were taking roids.

Why is baseball the Congress' business? Let them cheat and pay the price in decreased ticket sales.

I dunno. The guy on the radio seemed to think that Selig was very serious. One can only hope.

Good. I don't want to see that sub-pig Bonds "break" any records. They should take away that "Season Home Run" record while they're at it.

"A non-starter if I ever heard one."
Baseball got a big black eye letting a cheaters break the single season record..they need to do something before the lifetime record is corrupted.

"Former" Senator Mitchell. Maybe baseball is taking care of baseball.
Selig should have done this a while ago.

Why is baseball the Congress' business? Because Baseball has a special Congressional anti-trust exemption due to being the National Pastime.

Why is baseball the Congress' business?Because baseball wanted to have its precious anti-trust exemption (something no other league has).
If baseball hadn't invited the wolves, they would be fine.
They may fit congress's constitutional scope (inter-state commerce) but so does hockey, football and basketball, but you won't see congress getting involved with them because they didn't invites congress in.

Sad to admit, but I'm a sucker.
I believed Palmeiro during his first appearance in Congress. I still shocked at the deception.

I have a 15 year old son who plays baseball in school. You cannot convince him steroids is cheating because his tiny little mind associates steroids with bulk and not power. I know he will learn as his brain matures (maybe 35?, 45? LOL!)
I want him to know the principles we teach at home apply in the real world.
To: Political Junkie Too; Sonny M
The anti-trust exemption was common law made up by the Supreme Court in (I believe) Federal Baseball Club v. National League, 259 U.S. 200 (1922). The opinion was written by Holmes. Congress specifically did away with this common law exemption in the area of labor relations with the Curt Flood Act of 1998.

Why is baseball the Congress' business? Baseball has an anti-trust exemption from Congress. Therefore, Congress are allowed to stick their noses in the sport.

That's got to be tough as a parent... growing up in Atlanta, Hank Aaron was one of my childhood heroes - I was in 7th grade when he hit #714. in elementary school playing kickball we focused on home runs and pretended we were chasing Babe Ruth.
If we thought that we could take some pill and be like Hank Aaron we would probably have done it.
