No, not Beverly Mitchell, the "uggo" from Seventh Heaven. This guy:
Former Senator Mitchell. The man who (supposedly) brought peace to Ireland. Who can leap tall buildings in a single bound. His report comes out today about Major League Baseball, about steroids. How big is the problem? Who is to blame? What can be done?
Yeah yeah yeah. No one cares about any of that stuff. What they want to know is: Who did it?
And this is where the problem lies. I haven't read the report yet, so I will hold off until I see what evidence they have, but you know most people will take any name in the report as an automatic Guilty Verdict, and that may not be the case.
Howard Bryant of ESPN.com has written an excellent article about how the Mitchell Investigators did (and did not) obtain their "information." If Bryant's information is correct, and I rather suspect it might be, many of these so-called guilty names will be hearsay at best. Hall of Fame careers can and likely will be ruined in fewer than five hours. But you, friend, you be one who doesn't just call for a noose. Read Bryant's article and see what you think, and then be a little more skeptical when these so-called guilty people are named.
