Mark's story needs a shot itself.

Anyone who watched Mark McGwire try to explain that he did in fact use steroids must have fell off their seats when he proclaimed that it had no effect on his swing and homer run out put because he was "peeking" at that point of his career. He did admit that he used them because while at the "peek" of his career his body was breaking down! WHAT! Hey Mark are you now getting advise from convicted politicians? I didn't know that pros peek in their 15th and 16th year and did so by hitting one homer run every 14 times at bat to hitting one every 8 time at bat! Lets face it, Mark,do you think that the public is that stupid? We all know why you now are trying to come clean you want the hall and you want to be apart of something that you have loved to be a part of all your life. However,your story to Bob Costas could have used a shot of what you took when you hit 70 and 65 home runs because it fell short of the complete , come clean truth. Mark you are a liar and a fraud, but don't worry you're not the only one baseball has produced, and though I think you truly love the sport, you brought disgrace to it when you decided that hitting a home run every 8 at bats is nothing less then a pro at the height of his game and not one who hung on longer then he should have and needed help doing it. I am also a realist and I know that the generation of spoiled,players that will be known as the steroids generation will at some point vote you into the hall, I just hope that your display has a needle next to the bat you disgraced Rodger Maris and his family with. Mark you could have simply said: Yes I took steroids and it did have an impact on my stats and yes I got caught up in the hype and it was nice to capture my youth again and swing without pain in my lower back. And I just got done apologizing to the Mrs. Rodger Maris, who has seen her husband's achievement spat on once again by our national past time.
