Pulse-pounding article puts Victorino in focus

I nearly choked on my lunch when I started reading this article from the Arizona Republic.

It begins: "Fewer than 72 hours after Major League Baseball announced its latest, long-overdue crackdown on performance-enhancing drugs last week, Philadelphia Phillies prospect Shane Victorino stepped into the home dugout at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa and found two officials of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency waiting for him."

Thanks to the people at Baseball Think Factory for passing it along, and for the generous spike in hits.

You sly dog...Nice read, and at least he was clean after all. It's sad that when you start reading an article like this, you expect the guy to get busted, but that is the day and age we are in, and not just in Baseball.
