Mr. Selig goes to Washington

The headline above will link to a NY Daily News article on yesterday's hearings. I was home yesterday but actually had other things to do besides watching Congress. I'm sorry to have missed Mike McGwire crying and saying he didn't "want to talk about the past." Of course, why else would he have been called up there? They guy may be doing some wonderful things for abused children (and more power to him for that), but that wasn't why he was asked to appear.

Sammy Solsa's ability to speak English appears to be a problem at times, since his lawyer (and don't you love it when folks appear with one beside them?) had to tell the committee that his client never broke the lawyers of the U.S. or the Dominican Republic. Who knew that D.R. had laws on the books about rich athletes taking drugs? Pretty progressive!

On the much more pleasant front, Donna and I got confirmation that we got the seats we wanted for the Brooklyn Cyclone season. We'll be over behind the visitor's dug out in Section 15, on the aisle. Make it a bit easier to hit the concession stands between innings, as well as the bathroom when the beer takes effect.
