Chuck Knoblauch Has Been Found

It's time for an update on everyone's favorite bizarre off-season subplot. If you haven't been following, Chuck Knoblauch was named in the Mitchell Report and asked by Congress to give a deposition on the report and his inclusion in it. He failed to respond to the invitation, which resulted in a subpoena from Congress to testify. Knoblauch, however, was never served with the subpoena because the government literally couldn't find him. Today, however, Henry Waxman, the head of the House Oversight Committee in charge of the hearings, issued this statement today:

"We are pleased that Mr. Knoblauch has agreed to voluntarily participate in a transcribed interview or deposition with the committee," Henry A. Waxman, the California Democrat who chairs the committee, and Tom Davis, the Virginia Republican and ranking minority member, said in a statement.

Hilariously, the New York Times article linked above notes that Knoblauch was never served with his subpoena, which of course means that the government never found him. And so our long national nightmare is over. Chuck Knoblauch is found (sort of) and he'll be enlightening the world with his tales of how steroids dangerously affect throwing accuracy from second base. Or, you know, he'll just deny the stuff Mitchell said about him and say Roger Clemens is a great guy that would never cheat. I hope it's the first one though, that would make this whole futile exercise a little more worthwhile.
