It wasn’t like Mark McGwire was telling us something we didn’t know last night as Jose Canseco wrote about it so long ago in his first book called Juiced.  Amazingly no player mentioned in that book has ever sued Canseco pretty much confirming my worst fears about baseball in the “Steroid Era”.  Back to McGwire, he was whining like a little baby on T.V. as he tried to convince the fans watching him  that the steroids he took had no effect on his major league stats.  Oh really, so when he cranked a combined 135 homers in 1998 and 1999 that was all because he was such a good hitter…..I think not.  He played in 1,874 games in his major league career and he was 1,626 of 6,187 (.263 avg, .982 OPS) with 1,167 runs scored, 583 homers and 1,414 RBIs.  I will be shocked if McGwire ever gets more than 5% of the vote for the Hall of Fame as his only Hall worthy number is the homers in which he ranks tied for 8th all-time with Alex Rodriguez.  He’s #192 in runs scored and #66 in RBIs (just 7 ahead of Jose Canseco) all time in major league history.  If they had a Hall of Shame that is where Mark McGwire belongs……period!
