...which accounts for the large concentration of players in just a few organizations. It's safe to assume that the steroids problem was much, much more widespread than shown in this report. Mitchell himself admits his document is not comprehensive, and certain suspected users, like Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire, were notably absent from the report. Further government probes may unveil more names, but some players will undoubtedly escape without being publicly identified. And until baseball finds a reliable urine test for HGH, you'll never know who is still using...
...ball Mark McGwire hit for his 70th home run during his then record-breaking '98 season sold for $3 million, before the steroid suspicions clouded him.

That's the fun part, the immature part: You get to be a boy in a man's body. Hmm: Who's got the McGwire ball? Why, that would be me. Who's got the Bonds ball? Uh, me again! I can't hit all these homers, but isn't that kind of cool? That's the warped logic that gets me through...
