Pituitary as 'go-to gland in baseball'.... Lupica

"It wasn't long ago, when Jason Giambi was in a whole heap of trouble because of performance-enhancing drugs, that we heard about his problems with a pituitary gland.

• Now we hear the same thing from Paul Byrd, who did what I suppose the rest of us would do with a pituitary-gland problem, which is get $25,000 worth of human-grown hormones from a dentist.

And I'm just thinking: Who knew the pituitary would turn out to be the go-to gland in baseball?"

• From NY Daily News column by Mike Lupica, "Don Mattingly Will Manage if Boss Steinbrenner Still Rules," 10/28/07

(Interesting the news about Byrd was leaked just a bit too late to help the Yankees.) sm
