Congress wants leaders of MLB to testify at hearings once again. The hearings are scheduled for Tuesday with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and Jan. 23 by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. MLB has a legal monopoly which can be taken away by Congress. Cliff Stearns (R) Florida has called for Selig’s resignation. Even President Bush has weighed in on the steroids investigation saying, “I love the sport. I love the game. Like many fans, I’ve been troubled by the steroid allegations. I think it’s best that all of us not jump to any conclusions on any individual players named.” Not that Bush did anything about steroids as owner of the Rangers. The last hearings brought some entertaining television and memorable moments from Mark McGuire and Rafael Palmeiro.
