Former major leaguer Chuck Knoblauch showed up to be interviewed Friday by congressional lawyers investigating drugs in baseball, carrying his 2-year-old son and accompanied by a lawyer.
Asked what he would tell the staff members from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Knoblauch said, "We'll see."
Knoblauch entered the committee room shortly before 10 a.m. His interview is part of the panel's preparation for a Feb. 13 hearing focused on Roger Clemens' denial of allegations in the Mitchell Report made by the pitcher's former personal trainer, Brian McNamee.
Knoblauch, a former New York Yankees teammate of Clemens', also was cited in the Mitchell Report. Knoblauch agreed Monday to speak to the committee after initially failing to respond to an invitation to testify.
That silence prompted the committee to issue a subpoena, but federal marshals were unable to track down Knoblauch right away. The 1991 AL Rookie of the Year eventually did make contact and his interview was rescheduled for Friday.
Current Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte is to appear Monday, followed the next day by Clemens, McNamee on Thursday and former New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski on Feb. 12. Those appearances all were announced by the committee.
