Grandstanding. It's in their blood. Not to excuse the roid users and other cheaters who have damaged baseball's reputation, but you're right, this should not be something for Congress to involve itself in. They know there will be cameras there, that's all.


>You know that I don't really follow sports anymore (used to when I was much younger), but I don't understand why a Congressional committee is investigating steroid use in baseball.
