11th all-time career OPS 9th all-time career slugging percentage Am I campaigning for him to get into the Hall? Absolutely not but the guy wasn't a bad player. The only thing I hate about McGwire is that he was voted into the All-Century Team over Bagwell.
I'll give him the All Star games, ROY award and Gold Glove but he admits starting to use it in the early 90's and after his injuries in 93/94 seasons... 95 - 01 6 All-Star Games 2 Silver Sluggers 345 HRs Unfortunately these numbers will be tainted by his confessed usage.
Umm.. you do realize that homeruns contribute *significantly* to slugging pct (and therefore OPS too), right?
Ken Griffey Jr. laughs at these stats and the use of steroids. I always believed McGwire did not deserve to be in the HOF before this admission. Now that he's admitted to using for the majority of his career, he better not make the HOF.
Can someone be taken OUT the Hall of Fame if its discovered they used PEDs after their induction? That'd be cool
Who cares? Yeah, he used roids and HGH and hit tons of homers because of it. So did everyone else. They just didn't achieve the numbers he did and become the savior of the game for an entire season so they slid under the radar. Thanks for juicing up, Big Mac. You made baseball watchable that year. Everyone with a brain in their head knew you were on something yet they still cheered for you. They just wanna b**** now because they think it's the PC think to do.
McGwire isn't going to get in because the baseball writers are a bunch of clowns who think they are above baseball itself.
I guess Roger Maris is still the homerun champ for a single season. Mac,Sosa, and Bonds all been linked to roids so its hard to put them ahead of Maris. Baseball is so fake nowdays that nobody would shock me if they came out and said they were on roids.
