Any baseball fans out there? Have you read the Mitchell Report that was released earlier today? I've read through most of it and I'm really shocked by some of the names in the report. Now, these are rumored names or possibiles, these are really names! In some cases, multiple eye witnesses, checkes, records, shipping documents, phone calls, etc.... I think most of the poeple listed don't have a lot of way of talking themselves out of it....
There are article all over the place, trying to find one that has just a list (instead a few names here and there)....
Some of the big names include Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Paul Lo Duca, Eric Gagne, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds....
Some former players like Lenny Dykstra and Benito Santiago, Jose Canseco...
One thing to note, Mark mcgwire is mentioned... BUT... most of his entries are in discussions about Andro.... which was legal at the time....
Just glad my hero wasn't on the list... of course, I wasn't too worried... Ryno had too much class and true love of the game (points for figuring out the nickname, not you Justin! )....

would you have saved space by simply listing the players not on the list?
That's funny list the players not on the list!!
Lots of players on the lists didn't surprize me but some did.
Will be interesting to see what MLB does if anything??
The new Baseball commisaner needs to send a message and he might want to start
with some of these names on the list to send that message.
The ones that you can prove of course.
But something needs to be done to show these guys that it will not be tolerated
otherwise it will continue to be an issue.
I'd suggest: anyone proven is automatically banned from the Hall of Fame
Mandatory testing, multiple times a season, no advanced warning.
First time proven, suspended with out pay remainder of the season.
Second, Banned from the sport.
I'm willing to allow for an appeal if shown to be for valid medicinal reasons for a short term illness. If an illness requires long-term use, the player is benched until treatment is over. (with Pay.)
