Steroids or not, baseball's record book won't be changing.
Commissioner Bud Selig said Sunday that no records will be taken away from players suspected of steroid use.
"That would be unfair to do that,'' said before a game between the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels. "In fairness to those players, no one has been convicted of anything. And we can't turn history back.
"My job is to protect the integrity of the game. Each era, each decade has had situations where people said there were unfair advantages.''
Also Sunday, Rep. Tom Davis confirmed reports that the House Government Reform Committee is prepared to subpoena players and officials who turn down invitations to appear at a March 17 hearing on baseball's steroids policy.
Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Frank Thomas, Selig and union head Donald Fehr are among those who have been invited, along with baseball executive vice president Sandy Alderson and San Diego general manager Kevin Towers.
"We'll use the subpoena to get them there if that's what we have to do,'' Davis, the committee chairman, told CBS News.
