One other thing... while I agree completely that Waxman is a publicity hound, that this hearing was a huge waste of time and money, that Congress should be paying attention to more important things, that the partisan taking of sides in the hearing is either sad or comical (I can't decide which), that Waxman certainly could have not held the hearing regardless of what Clemens insisted on, etc., etc.,...
I do believe that MLB and the players union would have done NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, about the juicing players without the threat from Congress to step in. Without that, Donald Fehr would not have budged and there would STILL be no testing of players.
