The Crime!!!!!!

The facts revealed these past weeks have made every synapse in my brain fire with questions.
The Mitchell report sites over 89 baseball players who have used steroids in one form or another to cheat at the game. Call it performance enhancing drugs, HDH, pixie dust, it’s all the same; an illegal substance purchased illegally for personal use. A drug whose side effects include but are not limited to anxious rage, violent outbursts and physical enhancements of muscles.
Let us address the fact that Roger Clemens on any type of steroids would be a danger to those he pitched to. Clemens steroid use would explain the behavior that he demonstrated while he was on the mound. He appeared like a caged animal ready to attack its prey. According to the Mitchell report Clemens was using steroids during the 2000 season.
As a fan of the game, I find it appalling that the pinpoint control and astounding velocity that Clemens encompasses, is being disregarded when it comes to the criminal aspects of steroid use. For example a boxer, a heavyweight champion, if he should strike his opponent outside of the ring he will be charged with assault, if he kills him the boxer will be charged with manslaughter. It is the professional boxer’s skills that classify him as a lethal weapon.
A pitcher irresponsible enough to take steroids (which carry the side effects of violent outbursts and roid rage) who then launches a rocket of a pitch at someone’s head, should be held accountable for his actions. Clemens knew exactly what he was doing when he took steroids. He knew what the side effects would be, and he was well aware of his own capabilities. All of these factors should be considered when implementing a criminal investigation. A pitcher with the capability of Roger Clemens knows that his pitches can cause brain trauma or be fatal.
Taking all of what I just said into consideration, let us remember the 2000 World Series. Roger Clemens picks up a large portion of a splintered bat and then hurls the bat in the direction of the runner Mike Piazza. When confronted by Piazza and the press, Clemens’ response was “I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BALL”. The ball ? This imbecile said he thought the large long wooden remains of a major league bat were a ball ? Can anyone tell me when has a bat or even a portion of one has ever appeared to be a much smaller white colored ball?
Not only does using steroids make you crazy but apparently it can make you stupid as well. Or is that just Clemens being Clemens.
Post Script; Something to consider: During the 2000 World Series between the Mets and the Yankees, nine of the Yankee players were found to be using Steroids at the time. There were five games played, four of the Yankee starting pitchers were found to be on steroids, the Yankee closer Mike Stanton also found to be on steroids, the Yankees went on to win that World Series. Now that we know the role steroids played during the 2000 season and World Series do we invalidate that year?
The Chicago Black Sox scandal in the early twentieth century invalidated the series and prosecuted the players who had cheated. Will the Yankees gloss over the steroid era and write press release after press release to cover the fact that illegal drugs were used and contributed directly to the outcome of the series? Will Baseball and Congress turn a blind eye to all the crimes that have occurred?
Time will tell.
