Rip Sewell gripped the ball at seam with three fingers & tossed it home, the pitch rising as high as 25 feet at its apex. A successful effort topped out at 50 mph but rotated with plenty of backspin, which, according to Sewell, was his secret sauce.

Roger Clemens, who won Cy Young award a record 7 times, & 7 players, who won baseball's Most Valuable Player award, were among dozens of players named Thursday in former Senator George Mitchell's report on performance-enhancing drug use in the sport.

Tabacco: Jason Giambi 1st thru Escape Hatch because 1) told truth and 2) charity work. All baseball players do charity, including Barry Bonds. If Bonds confesses, he goes thru same Escape Hatch as Giambi. Bonds, not Giambi, prime escapee!

On Bonds: You're Damn Right Race Matters By Dave Zirin..Is Barry Bonds the object of a racist witch-hunt? Mark McGuire, O J Simpson vs. Robert Blake - the Black guy got all the bad press & Whitey none of the vitriol..See a pattern here? CLEMENS SOON!

My question is this: Whom did Aaron murder? Ruth was dead already when Hank hit 715. I guess you don't need an excuse to hate a Negro! Note DIFFERENCES in Clemens & Pettitte treatment from that given Barry Bonds. Maybe that's why Bonds exposed 1st!

In undermining Reds, Yankees succeeded in winning World Series, but they ruined a great pitcher in the process. I will never forgive the Yankees for that stupidity. Had they not ruined him, Don Gullett would be in the Hall of Fame today.

The Tennis Grand Slams he didn’t win were not anybody else’s fault but his own. Rod Laver knew the rules when he decided to turn pro; Josh Gibson did not know the rules when he “decided” to be born Black.

How can you call yourself “Best” in anything when you exclude people because of their skin color or national origin? That’s tantamount to saying, “Canadians play hockey too good, so in our American Hockey League, Canadians are excluded.”
