A good read, indeed. I've stated many times before, Congress should stick to its own business and handle more important things. These arguments that Congress is saving people from health risks are simply fruitless. If that is the case, why isn't Congress attacking Tobacco and Alcohol? To restore respect to the game is one reason I can accept, but health is one reason that will lose 99% of the time.
Anyway, failing to show up would be a disaster because of the following comment:
But even if baseball had a legitimate argument, it shouldn't use it. All it will accomplish by this defiance is to take what is still a relatively back-burner issue among its customers, and give it the appearance of a total stonewall, a complete cover-up, a four-alarm fire of guilty conscience that could not be more damaging than if it proved all the players of the last 20 years had been injected with steroids personally by Bud Selig himself.
It simply sends the wrong signal. The players should just show up and plead the fifth....Canseco included. Congress can say no one will be prosecuted, but how often has the government held true to its promises?
