My original sketch for this cartoon was simply labeled “The Sinker” and had former congressman George Mitchell, who led the MLB probe on steroids use, as a pitcher on a mound hurling a humongous baseball labeled “Steroids Report” toward a batter labeled “Players.” That one would have been just “eh … that’s fine, I guess,” so I fiddled with it before coming to this final version. I like it a lot beteter, since I think it takes a look at the real impact this steroids scandal will make.
