The latest leaks have come from a list of 104 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003 but were promised anonymity. The list, now under court seal, was seized by federal authorities in an investigation of a California laboratory linked to steroids. The players union, though, is claiming in court that the seizure was illegal and wants the players’ identities protected.

Aaron disagrees with the union. He told the Associated Press on Tuesday: “I wish for once and forever that we could come out and say we have 100 and some names, name them all and get it over and let baseball go on.”

We agree with Aaron that the entire list should be released because it could help baseball get past the steroid era. Keeping the list under seal has had the effect of putting all players under a cloud of suspicion. Players who are clean should no longer be tainted by those who are not.

Sarah Palin proved last year, as John McCain’s running mate on the Republican ticket, that she had no business being a heartbeat away from the presidency. She more than demonstrated that by her lack of experience and inability to deviate from a prepared script to answer basic questions from reporters during the campaign.

But it is difficult to think that many voters — whether they’re Democratic, Republican or independent — would ignore the fact that she deserted Alaska’s voters. Whatever spin she’s trying to put on this, the bottom line is that she’s a quitter.
