Steroids in Baseball
A Congressional committee has subpoenaed several baseball players to testify about steroid use in their profession. Pitcher Curt Schilling has become the first current player to agree to testify. Some of the other players have not yet agreed to testify. According to the Associated Press, the commissioner's office has said it will fight the subpoenas, which also were issued to Jason Giambi, Sammy Sosa, Frank Thomas and Rafael Palmeiro. Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire also were summoned for the March 17 hearing in Congress. Mark Fainaru-Wada, sports reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle, and Mike DiGiovanna, Angels beat writer for Los Angeles Times, who is at Spring Training right now, join Larry to talk about the story.
