What this is about is a bunch of rich old white guys (plus that Moreno fella) who own baseball teams and got scared when their decision to ignore the problem for 10 years blew up in their faces and they were now at risk of Congress blowing up their sport.

Selig couldn't get the owners to give a crap about steroids; not while things like this were happening
-- Value of NY Mets 1999: $249 Million
-- Value of NY Mets 2001: $482 Million
-- Percentage Change: 92%

Players are also at fault. No doubt.

But most people who hear the term "drug culture in baseball" do not really have a mental picture that includes the faces of all the owners who knew this was going on.

We'll read all kinds of stories connected to this in the coming months about how the lure of a $2 - $5 million salary drove these mostly middle and lower range players to steroids.

What you won't read are stories about what specific team owners and top execs knew and did or didn't do while their own wealth was increasing by as much as hundreds of millions.


So I guess those cancelled checks for amounts raging from 1,000 - 5,000
were just donations to Radmowski's favorite charity? The guy is not very reputable, but let's let the facts of this case do the talking.
