Home Run Derby

I think just about everybody expected Sammy Sosa to be named in the Mitchell Report.

He wasn’t. 

I think just about everyone who opined on who would be named by Senator George Mitchell today would have had Sammy Sosa listed.  And I would have agreed with them, which would have kept my “fabulous” record of predictions intact.

But he’s not there. 

Okay, Sosa is mentioned in the report - but he’s not listed among the 86 names.  And he’s only referenced once.  His only mention comes when Senator Mitchell was detailing his attempts to contact Mark McGwire through his attorney …

I sent similar letters with specific questions to lawyers for Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa and Gary Sheffield, none of whom provided answers to my questions either.

Now mind you – just because Sosa isn’t in the Mitchell Report list of players doesn’t mean he didn’t use a performance enhancing substance.  It could just mean that Mitchell didn’t find any cancelled checks payable to Kirk Radomski from Mr. Sosa.

My eyes tell me differently.
