HALL OF FAMER OR SHAMER ???

For one glorious summer, Mark McGwire was bigger than baseball itself. He could do no wrong, it seemed. Surely he would be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame someday.A 70 home run season and a 583 for a career. And then came that day on Capitol Hill. Over and over, the big slugger was asked about possible steroid use, and his reputation took hit after hit as he refused to answer, saying he wouldn't talk about his past.McGwire looked every bit as guilty and his excuse as flimsy as Sammy Sosa’s sudden inability to speak English and Rafael Palmiero’s finger-pointing denial that he ever took steroids.



Unfairly or not, McGwire is forever linked to an era of home run explosions that will forever be tainted. There is a pretty good chance he took performance enhancing drugs. Just compare photos above.

Let the voting stand !! Maybe some day but for now SHAMER !!!

Oh, to remember the good guys The Babe, Willie and DiMaggio.
