An Open Letter to Bud Selig

Commissioner Selig:

Your statements welcoming back Mark McGuire are another sad chapter in your office's mishandling of drugs in baseball and you have personally demeaned the phrase "fine young man". Mark McGuire has never taken full, complete responsibility for his misuse of drugs and has never been an effective advocate for keeping sport clean. His Senate performance was at best self-serving and at worst despicable. His total silence since has been cowardly.

Your inability to understand the message your welcome sends to young players everywhere is disturbing and another blotch on your already drug-stained legacy.
