What's Really Happening In The Dominican?
More bad news from the steroids front -- this time from the front page of the Washington Post: The afternoon before his tryout with the Philadelphia Phillies, 19-year-old Lino Ortiz walked over to his friend Jose Manuel Avila's house with a 3-peso needle and a small brown bottle containing a substance normally injected into horses or fighting cocks. Looks like the kids back in San Pedro de Macoris are learning how the big leaguers do it. The next time you hear from the Major League Baseball Players Association that we don't need mandatory and permanent testing, think about the kids in the Dominican -- where one scout estimates that virtually every baseball prospect is using some kind of anabolic steroid.
