Earlier this week we reported that
Chuck Knoblauch was served a subpoena to testify in front of Congress about allegations made about him in the Mitchell Report. As it turns out, that wasn't entirely accurate: as of last night, Knoblauch still hasn't been served ...
because he can't be found!
Apparently the former big leaguer has managed to live off the grid since retiring from the game a few years back. Even so, this doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in the U.S. Government, not when you consider that the
New York Times was able to
track him down for an interview just last month. (Although, the last line of that interview was telling: "Don't tell anybody where I live," he said.)
Peter Abraham of the LoHud Yankees Blog has the best take I've seen:
A man matching Knoblauch's description was just spotted at the Grover Cleveland rest area in New Jersey in line at the Roy Rogers. He seems to be headed to Canada.
U.S. Marshall Samuel Gerard is now on the case and has promised "a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area."
If
U.S. Marshall Tommy Lee can't find him, I think
Dog the Bounty Hunter is still looking for work.
