Shaughnessy is too good to have to invent anything. He neither invented anything in this instance nor accused Ortiz of using steroids and their cousins. What he did was take his skepticism and his curiosity, good traits for a newspaperman to have, and ask Ortiz about steroids. Ortiz’s responses did not indicate anger of being accused of wrong doing.

30 years ago I wore a 7 3/8 hat, now I wear a 7 1/2 or 7 5/8 (depending on what fits as hats, like clothes are not all the same size despite what the tag says). I PROMISE my incresed hat size (and waist line) is the result of simply eating too much.........not PEDS. Just sayin

After all, as noted here last season when he pitched for the Yankees, whose head grows (and grows and grows) well after entering adulthood? Not yours, not mine.

Hanks head grew some. Colon's grew to about three times original size.

Colon looks like Peter Potamus.
