Doing what exactly? Sitting in jail? Tied up in courtrooms every day? C'mon, Mike. If he really wanted to play baseball so badly, why couldn't he sign up with an independent team way before now. Heck, his trial ended on June 18, and it took him over two months to get back out there?

I'm sure he had plenty of time between 2007 and now to take a shot or two on the mound to see if he could still compete.
