McGwire Admits to Steroids......

Actually McGwire never denied using. In the federal jury trial he repeated, "I'm not here to talk about the past".

He's only doing this so 1. People will forgive him 2. He won't face questions about it during spring training coaching the Cards 3. Getting into the HOF.

1. People will forgive him (I bet most won't)

2. He won't face questions about it during spring training coaching the Cards
(It's gonna be a circus)

3. Getting into the HOF (not bloody likely)

Still give him some props for having cajones though...bet Bonds and Sosa don't.

Yes- he said he was doing some kind of skin treatment that went awry.

The only thing is that the pitchers were doing it and he crushed the balls they threw at him. There was no testing back then it was against the law of the United States not baseball. If he gets in to the HOF it is because The rest of the legue was doing it as well. IMO
Who cares about the past, move on.
PS he won't get in to the HOF for one reason, he only did one thing, he did it well mind you. He hit home runs. BA below 270, fielding was ok at best one gold glove That about sums it up. IMHO

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-steroids, I just don't buy into all the outrage that people feel about players in baseball using them. The Olympics, yes, but pro sports, no. I am against steroid use b/c of health reasons, not the unfair advantage reasons.

That is not true. The only crimes these really committed were taking perscribed drugs without a perscription. If they (all the players in question) admitted to that alone, Congress would have little to charge these guys on.

In the end MLB is just entertainment. Many make out to be something more than that, but it's not really.
