This morning was the first start of Spring Training for the Cardinals, and of course there was a brief McGwire media frenzy.
Saying that his admission was a “big, big release,” he chatted amiably and spoke casually about the steroid issue for 17 minutes, devoid of the emotion that marked a January news media blitz. In those interviews, McGwire admitted that he was a longtime steroid user during a 16 year career that peaked in 1998 with 70 home runs, breaking Roger Maris record of 61 set in 1961. Soon after McGwire went to work. Some of the other players that have come early are Rueben Gotay, Colby Rasmus and Joey "Bombs" Mather. I am just giddy with excitement.
