加一點:
Former Sen. George Mitchell's alleged findings on Clemens (with Boston from 1984-96) started when the right-hander joined the Toronto Blue Jays. Mitchell reported that Mo Vaughn (Boston's first baseman from 1991-98) purchased human growth hormone (HGH) while he was with the Angels in 2001. Vaughn won the American League Most Valuable Player Award while playing for the 1995 Red Sox
都剛好是離開紅襪這隊才開始的喔?
不只是我有這種想法的
Sad but predictable day for Mitchell, baseball
By John McMullen
The Phanatic Magazine
You can close the curtain on the biggest dog and pony show in sports history.
Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell unveiled his "report" on
performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball Thursday.
The much-anticipated 311-page tome revealed the names of numerous players who
purchased and possibly used performance enhancing substances after a 20-month
investigation...
as long as you weren't a key cog for Mitchell's beloved Boston
Red Sox.
I almost couldn't write this column after an incorrect list of players in the
Mitchell report circulated in The Phanatic Magazine newsroom about 90 minutes
before the fraud himself stepped to the podium in New York.
The fake list included the name of Jason Varitek and I was going to be forced
to admit Mitchell was on the level.
But, then the real deal was posted and I was jolted back to reality.
The
biggest names not previously tainted by rampant accusations were future Hall
of Fame pitcher Roger Clemens along with his friend and former teammate with
the New York Yankees, Andy Pettitte.
Big shock there...It was ludicrous that MLB commissioner Bud Selig asked
Mitchell to head baseball's steroid investigation. As a lifelong fan of the
BoSox and a director in the team's front office, Mitchell was a walking
conflict of interest.
Sure, if the senator had some sense he might have thrown a fringe guy like a
Gabe Kapler or a former star and obvious abuser like Nomar Garciaparra under
the bus to cover his ass, but he wasn't even smart enough to do that.
The closest Mitchell got to his own team was slapping Eric Gagne on the wrist,
a player Sox fans revile and is already off to Milwaukee, and naming Brendan
Donnelly, an afterthought who wan't tendered.
Sacred cows like David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez and Varitek knew they could all
sleep soundly last night, knowing baseball's top cop had no interest in any of
their personal habits, as look as they kept providing wins and the occasional
autograph.
Sure all three of those players are the type of neon lights that Eddie Adams
described to Jack Horner in a Southern California hot tub but why make things
messy for your own club?
"When I close my eyes, I see this thing, a sign, I see this name in bright blue
neon lights with a purple outline. And this name is so bright and so sharp that
the sign - it just blows up because the name is so powerful... It says, "Dirk
Diggler," Adams told Horner.
I see that same sign -- except it says Ortiz, Ramirez, Varitek, Josh Beckett
and Dustin Pedroia.
There is a reason Congress' approval ratings are 22 percent while the most hated
President of the last half-century can garner 37 percent support.
Our senators and congressman are practiced in the art of deception and even
though Mitchell left Washington behind a long time ago, he has never left that
culture behind.
Like any impotent democrat that preys on the fears of the lower and middle
class, Mitchell did everything he could to protect the people that elevated
him to his undeserved position of power.
Well done Senator.
