The long awaited "Mitchell Report" has hit the media and with just enough force to knock Bud Selig on his.......butt. Senator George Mitchell was named head of a special organization that was to deal with the steroid problem in Major League Baseball. And after long anticipation, the report that Mitchell has put together which names all the players link to steroid use...is public! Let me lay out some of the big names for you...
-After Seven Cy Young Awards, 354 major league victories, MVP and All-Star honors, and an obvious vote into the baseball Hall of Fame, Roger "the Rocket" Clemens was arguably the biggest name to appear on George Mitchell's steroid list. As of now these names are just speculation but this list had a long preparation time so Clemens can expect a long road ahead of him.
-Barry Bonds (obviously) was noted on the list and will undergo further investigation.
-Other big names include Jason Giambi, Eric Gagne, Gary Sheffield, Gary Matthews Jr., Jose Guillen, Brian Roberts, Paul lo Duca, Andy Pettite (hmm,,, another Yankees guy) and Miguel Tejada which is very interesting considering Tejada was just involved in a 6-mad trade between the Orioles and Houston Astros.
Major League Baseball comissioner Bud Selig has announced that he will be handling these players on a case-by-case situation.
