The Mitchell report on steroids in baseball is coming out today, and word is leaking that Roger Clemens is in there. I never thought that, in the World Series, when Clemens took Piazza’s shattered bat and hurled it back at him, it was just the spirit of competition. I feel the same way about Kenny Rogers smashing photographers’ cameras and throwing ninety-three miles per hour at age forty. The use of steroids by pitchers has been widely overlooked. I’d look for a whole mess of them on the list.
