I have little or no respect for most members of congress. Having said that, I believe yesterday was time well spent. Not the fawning and autograph seeking several members engaged in. But the panels with the parents of dead athletes and medical experts and the last panel, with Selig and Fehr. Congress grants MLB an antitrust exemption; so when congress tells baseball to jump, baseball should ask, how high. Furthermore, MLB and the MLPA have been complicit in hiding illegal drug distribution and use. There are people serving time in Federal prison for dealing and using controlled substances. Congress has a duty to investigate any organization it believes is systematically violating federal statutes. At least one member of the final panel committed perjury yesterday. Congress must act on that and follow through with regulating this industry if it can't police itself.
