The George Mitchell Report

I think I can speak for all of us when I say that I'm really dismayed by the Mitchell Report on steroid abuse in Major League Baseball. Let's just hope that baseball can leave these dark days behind.

It was most shocking to see Roger Clemens' name on the list. Growing up on Boston, the Rocket was one of those players you pretend you are while playing neighborhood baseball. (I was just as ripped though.) It's a sad day when you find out one of your sports heroes is just a doped up meat-head.



The Onion did a good job of adding humor to this situation in August 2006 in an article entitled "Report: Your Favorite Player Took Steroids." The best part is where Bryant Gumble implicates Secretariat for doping.
