Advance word was that 80 Major League Baseball players would be linked to drug use by name in today's long-awaited report from former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig appointed Mitchell to investigate the use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs by players. When Mitchell unveiled his report, he said that he'd invited each player named in the report to respond to allegations, but that they'd all declined.
