Jason Giambi will discuss his drug use with Sen. George Mitchell.
Jason Giambi will meet with George Mitchell, agreeing right before baseball commissioner Bud Selig's deadline Thursday to cooperate with the steroids investigator.
Giambi, who for the first time publicly admitted he had a "personal history regarding steroids," will become the first active player known to speak with the former Senate majority leader. No date was set for their session.
The New York Yankees star announced his decision after he spoke on the phone with Selig. Lawyers for the players' union and Major League Baseball reached a written agreement that set rules for the meeting.
The former American League MVP said he wouldn't implicate other players and appeared to backtrack on earlier remarks that the sport owed fans a collective apology for the steroids era.
"I alone am responsible for my actions and I apologize to the commissioner, the owners and the players for any suggestion that they were responsible for my behavior," Giambi said in a statement.
"I will address my own personal history regarding steroids. I will not discuss in any fashion any other individual," Giambi said (source).
Oh, wow. He actually mentioned the word "steroids."
I don't know what this accomplishes. I guess it makes Selig sleep better at night, however.
