OK, I really didn't want to further this discussion, but now I must.
Now they dug up George Mitchell to come and "save the day"....1st of all,
he has a serious conflict of interest, being that he has financial inter-
rests in the Boston Red Sox....2nd, he did not do much for the state of
Maine when he represented it. My daughter lives up there and I've spent
much time up there since 1961. Between, Mitchell and Selig this investi-
gation will result in a "feel good - totally ineffective" conclusion.

Where is the ghost of Judge "Kennesaw Mountain" Landis......we need you
Judge ?

I sometimes think the sad, untimely death of Bart Giamatti made more of im-
pact on BB than we'll ever know. He would have been a great Commissioner,
as he loved and really understood the game. And, I think he would have been
independent enough to control this situation......that has gotten so out of
control that it will affect BB for sometime.

Excuse me for reiterating......Mitchell and Selig will be totally ineffective in
this matter.
