PHOENIX — Baseball owners heard a clear warning from former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell on Thursday. Mitchell, who is investigating steroid use in the sport, said the chances of government involvement will "significantly increase" if they don't cooperate with him.
Speaking to owners on the final day of baseball's quarterly meetings, Mitchell said he intends to interview active players and raised the possibility that Congress or other government authorities could compel testimony.
"I believe it will be in your best interests, and the best interests of baseball, if I can report that I have received full cooperation from your organizations, and from others, in conducting this investigation," Mitchell said in remarks that were released to reporters.
Best interests of baseball? I have seen those words before in that order, but I'm a little foggy on the meaning.
