Afterthoughts

Ah, baseball spring training, the crack of the bat, the copping of pleas, the charges of perjury and the testing of urine.

This season's celebrity steroid user is Alex Rodriguez whose confession on ESPN gave Congress a welcome distraction from the Great Depression II. They will call a hearing, interrogate the players and get their autographs.

This latest steroid wallow will expose more players ad nauseam, while Rodriguez, Roger Clemens and Mark McGwire will probably never get into the Hall of Fame. The only solution is a separate Steroid Hall of Fame.

The Steroid Hall of Fame, honoring the game's greatest drug-using superstars, would also be in New York state, but not Cooperstown. How about Woodstock?
