Preview of Tomorrow's Congressional Hearing with Major League Baseball

By Rick Karcher, Michael McCann, Geoffrey Rapp, Greg Skidmore, and Howard Wasserman

Earlier today, I wrote a 12-part Question/Answer for SI.com that previews tomorrow's Congressional hearing featuring former Senator George Mitchell, Bud Selig, and Donald Fehr.

I address such topics as:

• The types of questions likely to be asked of Mitchell, Selig, and Fehr
  

• Whether there will be finger-pointing by Selig and Fehr
  

• Whether Roger Clemens' name and situation will come up

• Whether Donald Fehr will argue against new testing

• Whether other pro sports leagues will be following the testimony

• Whether Congress should be spending its time on the topic of steroids and baseball and how might this topic influence the 2008 Presidential Election

It's lengthy (about 2,500 words), but I hope you have a chance to check out the Q/A.

Update: Rick and I are interviewed by the Washington Times' Mark Zuckerman in his Jan. 15 article "Hearing Could Be Influential."
