  • "Senator Mitchell has had a formidable challenge and faced obstacles I never encountered.

We both lacked the subpoena power but

Commissioners Uberroth, Giamatti and Vincent all had the full, unfettered power to inquire, to hold hearings, to decide the issues and to punish the malefactor.

Mitchell has encountered nothing but hostility from the union which is a tragedy in itself. You would think the Union would be interested first in the health, welfare and integrity of the ball players. Not this time.

I believe he did his level best to produce an honest report about the conduct which has created a terrible cloud on this national treasure.

  • I look forward to reading his report."
