Big Mac Was On The Special Sauce.

So Mark McGwire has officially admitted to using steroids.

Am I surprised? No.

Did I already have a pretty good idea he had used them? Yes.

Does it tarnish what he has done? A bit.

Does it make our recreation of his 62^nd home run while on retreat at the beginning of Senior Year a little less authentic?  Yes, Ben you should have had a head five sizes bigger than your current dome and a syringe in your back pocket and some really good acne would of helped too.

Did he admit it so he wouldn’t have so deal with the questions during spring training and while coaching? Most likely.

Does it take away from the fact he was still a great power hitter?  Not too much.

Will the Cards be a better hitting team with him as a coach? I still think so.

Will baseball forgive him? Because he was an overall good guy and nice to the press, yes.

How many years till they let him in the Hall of Fame? I say it will still take 3 or 4 years for the writers to forgive him.

 And who knows, maybe it was all just hormones in the milk he drank.

He cheated but he admitted it.  He will be welcomed back with open arms.  Here is to seeing Big Mac back on the visitors bench when we kick the Cards in the nuts again next year in the playoffs.
