	Peter Ueberroth was more interested in serving his own political 
interests than in serving baseball when he made his decisions about drug use.  
Don't be surprised to see his name on the ballot of the upcoming Senate race 
in Califonia. I can see it now...  

Armed with the recent presidential commission report which estimates that 
there are 20 million current user of marijaunna and 5-6 million users of 
cocaine in America, Mr. Ueberroth proposes to the Senate a novel new plan to 
reduce the budget deficit. He recommends that all workers be tested for drugs.
All those found guilty will contribute 10% of their salary to the budget 
deficit.  He may even go so far as to prosecute anyone who has been rumored to 
have used drugs in the last six years. Of course the final verdict of guilty 
is up to him.  

ps. If fans are so concerned about the image of baseball players then why isn't
there more outrage over displays of unsportsmanlike conduct ?
(Speaking of Andujar: If the baseball 21 only testified under threat of jail 
terms, why isn't Andufar in jail ? He was impliacted and did't testify. Answer: The governmetnt would be wasting your money and mine if they went after every 
citizen rumored to have used drugs six years ago.) 

pps. I'll bet Mr. Ueberroth would get a nuch warmer wellcome in D.C. if he made
sure that some baseball Senators were there to greet him.
