George Brett goes negative on steroid users
"I wasn’t a home-run hitter,” Brett said, “but I know from talking to guys in the 500-home run club, guys like Schmitty (Mike Schmidt) and some other guys like that, if those guys make it in then they’ll never go back.”

Ryan Braun strikes out twice in Cactus League debut
Ryan Braun received the Barry Bonds treatment in his opening Spring Training game in Phoenix on Sunday.
The game was played at Milwaukee’s home spring Park - the Maryvale Baseball Park - against the Giants.
Brewers fans gave Braun a standing ovation when he came to bat.
Yet, about half of the nearly 7,000 fans at the park were cheering for the San Francisco Giants. Fans yelled “Ur-ine Sam-ple!” and “Cheater!” at the NL 2011 MVP winner. Braun struck out twice.
The Cactus League game ended in a 1-1 tie.
