Does anyone care?

If a grown man wants to inject himself in the ass with the same drug that makes my chicken plumper, so that he can throw a baseball 100 mph or hit it 500+ feet, who cares.

Cheating has always been part of baseball. Pitchers would put vaseline on the ball. Doctor it with sandpaper, wipe their brow and put the perspiration on the ball. Players would file their spikes,and intentionally slide feet high trying to spike the defensive player. Batters would cork their bats. It's all part of sports.

MLB knew of its' use. When McGuire and Sosa were both chasing Babe Ruths' single season HR record, the crowds were enormous and it was the savior of baseball. Did MLB care? Hell no, they were finally filling the parks again. Now they want to get holier than thou, twenty years after the fact. Give me a break.

Why is the government involved in this anyhow. MLB has less than 1000 players at a given time. What constitutes the governments spending my tax dollars to probe into something that affects so few, when their are so many greater issues that plague our country.

So the Mitchell report came out, who cares?
