    What, b/c you played in the steroid era you were forced to take them? Thats a very lame cop out, IMHO. Full asterisk near his name now.

    EDIT:

    "It's unfortunate I played in this era," McGwire sniffled, as though he was a victim of circumstance.

    In truth, McGwire defined the era. He became Exhibit A for how money, fame and hallowed records can be gained through chemistry.

    We all learned a lot during McGwire's era. Including how to differentiate between an honest admission and continued denial.

    I hope MLB will now ban him from everything, like they did Pete Rose.

    didn't Mcquire just admit to perjury to Congress? Or did he play the "I don't remember" game?

    No, he played the "I'm not here to talk about the past" card.

    All while the esteemed members of Congress virtually kissed his @ss instead of calling him out.

    Well whoop dee doo Mr. Mark McLiar.

    The past is when you hit all your HRs, even the record breaking ones.

    So, let's just forget you even existed as a major league baseball player.

    Because despite what that lunatic Tony LaRussa thinks about bringing you back as a player, let face it,
    that's in the past too.

    What a chump.

    Commissioner's statement regarding Mark McGwire | MLB.com: Official Info

    What a bull**** statement. This is yet another reason why professional baseball is the joke it is.

    Bud Selig saying he is glad McGwire came clean. That is laughable, that is like John Gotti saying he is proud of Sammy the Bull for doing the right thing. F'n hypocrite. Bud Selig is just as responsible for steroids in baseball as any player is.
