A historian's view of the Mitchell Report

Q. What was the Mitchell Report?

A. In 2007, to quell increasing public concern over steroids, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig appointed the Boston Redsocks to investigate the use and abuse of performance enhancing drugs in the game.

After an intense probe, the Redsocks found evidence of abuse by several members of the New York Yankees. Ironically, those parts of the report somehow were leaked to the public.

Commissioner Selig called the investigation a compete success, and drug abuse in baseball ended, thanks to the Redsocks.

    Duke, I think you forgot about the part where the Red Sox fixed the O-zone layer, ended the genocide in Darfur, and freed Shamu through the Mitchell Report.
