In more news that everybody knew already, former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire announced that it was indeed him who hit 70 home runs in 1998 breaking the former record of 61 held by Roger Maris set in 1961. ApparentlyMcGwire has just decided to tell everybody more news that does not shock anybody.
“Remember 1998 when that ‘roided out first baseman hit 70 home runs to break the single season record?” questioned the admitted steroid user, “Yeah, that was me!” It appears the attention starved former player just wants attention to remind everybody of his records. McGwire continued on to say that steroids in no way helped him hit the ball 500 feet, that feat he attributed to his strength.
Tony LaRussa, McGwire’s and still current Cardinal manager isn’t sure why McGwire came out with the admission of steroids or the home run reminder either. “Nobody forgot what he did on the field, and everybody knew it was because of the steroids. I don’t understand why he feels necessary to break this news in the middle of the offseason.”
McGwire will take over the hitting coach duties in St. Louis this year. It is not known whether current players prefer the cream or the clear.
