Red Sox owners defend choice of co-owner Mitchell for inquiry

Boston Red Sox owner John Henry defended the choice of club director George Mitchell to head baseball's steroids investigation, saying Monday he wants to know if any players - including his own - used banned substances.

• "I think people who took a shot at George because he might have a conflict of interest, that's really unfair," Red Sox chairman Tom Werner said.

Henry was the owner of the Florida Marlins, and Mitchell was on their board of directors, before Henry took over the Red Sox in 2002.

These men are at the very least among the best salesmen in the world, which is how they made their money to begin with.

I'm paying attention to this, even if no one else is.
