I know that this is an independent investigation now, but Congress has had hearings on steroids in baseball and now a former Senator is heading up the investigation. Can anyone explain to me why congress would have any interest whatsoever in this topic? Is the state of Major League Baseball a serious concern for our elected officials? What the farg?

i thought the same thing...15 months ago when the hearing happened.

Quote from: FFatPatt on June 20, 2006, 07:41:01 AMI have many of his rookie and 2nd year cards, including the famous Upper Deck #1. I wonder how much some of these are worth now that his career's been a "disappointment".

Don't remember off the top of my head, but I think the Upper Deck one is around $50 now. The Fleer, Topps and Donruss ones are less than $10...

think he'll be suspended?

phattymatty · June 26, 2006, 02:14:59 PM

apparently after he left the game, he piled up some water coolers in front of the umpires locker room so they couldnt get in. which is awesome.

Tampa Bay - LA deal is done;

LA trades: Dioner Navarro and Jae Seo and the famous PTBNL

TB trades: Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall

FYI - Hendrickson is the guy who the Sixers drafted.

brain aneurysm for Peter Gammons

Damn. That sucks.

However, the guy was a singer?

QuoteMore recently, Gammons has dabbled in music and next week is scheduled to release his first CD, "Never Slow Down, Never Grow Old.

I mean, come on. Can you imagine him singing?
