Squeezing the Juice [BP Unfiltered] 

Happy New Year, everybody! I'm back in NYC, still buried under an avalanche of work, beating editors back with a fungo bat while sleep is in short supply.

When
the news came down that CT scans of Mark McGwire's 70th home run showed a ball that was out of MLB's specifications, it rang a bell and reminded me of some work I did for Will Carroll's book, The Juice: The Real Story of Baseball's Drug Problems two years ago. Read all about it at BP Unfiltered.

Speaking of BP, I'll be doing my best to beat the Hall of Fame's Tuesday announcement of the 2007 voting results by running JAWS articles on Monday and Tuesday, and hosting a chat at 4 PM Eastern after the results are annnounced. Until then, it's back to the salt mines...
