Things continue to get uglier with Major League Baseball as the latest Congressional hearing is being called a waste of time. California Democrat Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said that the session probably did not need to take place.
A number of committee members felt that the affidavits and depositions leading up to the proceeding provided enough information to move forward. However, they allowed the hearing to take place because Roger Clemens wanted to give his side of the story and make sure the report was fair. While it's true that he has the right to defend his name, it's time for baseball to take control of the issue for good.
With the 2008 season on the horizon, it's time for MLB to start promoting all of the incredible young talent and get the fans ready for the year. Instead, steroids and controversy continue to dominate the headlines when the Spring Training should be in the forefront. There have been many different eras of baseball, with the steroid era being the latest. As soon as baseball can get past that, the sooner it can be about the game again.
