Today George Mitchell released his 21 month project in order to find out some current and former players who were using performance enhancing drugs. The biggest names that were on the former US senator's list were Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Andy Pettite, Miguel Tejada, Gary Sheffield, Eric Gagne and Paul Lo Duca. The Cubs have been in heated trade talks with the Orioles about their 2nd baseman Brian Roberts, his name appeared on the list. The question is will they still try to get a deal done with Baltimore? This day could be considered a good or bad day for baseball. Luckily, no current Cubs players were on the report but there were many former players such as:
Matt Karchner
Todd Hundley
Glennallen Hill
Hariston Jr.
Matthews Jr.
Kent Merker
Rafael Palmeiro
Benito Santiago
Rondell White
Matt Franco
Ismael Valdez
Todd Pratt
Gary Matthews Jr.
Some of these former "cheaters" are still playing today. In this report, they didn't catch everybody using performance enhancing drugs. The MLB is taking strides to make the game more fair. I applaud George Mitchell's efforts and am dissapointed with all the people who couldn't play the game fair and treat it like respect.
