@@mdboy2017 McGwire and Sosa (and Bonds and Clemens) never tested positive for PED use. Not one time. Also, McGwire was a big time home run hitter when he was at USC, so it's not like he suddenly hit them out of nowhere. Unless he took steroids for his entire career including college, but I doubt it.
@@isaacdonnelly20 That's true, but I still would put him in the HOF anyway. The league didn't give a shit about steroids, in fact they loved it because it brought more attention to the sport. And again, McGwire may have admitted to PED use, but at what time was he using? We can say for sure that he was using for most likely the majority of his MLB career, but in college? I don't know, and I have my doubts on that. That's important because it shows that the guy had a ton of natural talent to play the game from the jump. He was a great baseball player with or without the PED's. And given that the league didn't care at all about PED use, I think a guy like Mark McGwire should be put into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Mark McGwire is the greatest home run hitter of all time. It’s not even close. F the hall of fame. If it weren’t for mark then you wouldn’t even care about baseball. If it weren’t for mark baseball would be who cares steeze.
1984, last organized ballgame my Dad and I ever attended together. Modesto A's at John Thurman Field. That is where Big Mac and Canseco were given the name "The Bash Brothers." Never cared much for Canseco but Big Mac was always a favorite, made even more so when he played for the Cards. He will always be the homerun king in my mind.
This song is absolutely ideal for this video And I LOVE McGwire…ball players are still doing all variations of steroids today or whatever you want to call them, always trying to find an edge. grow up
Yea but what do you do? Dig up Ruth and Aaron, extract their DNA and recreate them in a lab,pump them full of roids and see what they would be capable of with some help?
I loved these days of baseball, I believe in fact it was the best era, but lmao you can see the moment he started juicing in this video. He got enormous, look at his legs!
He took Andro and took it for his back. He was always just a strong guy. Not like Bonds that went from looking like Griffey to looking like McGwire lol
@@jorgedelgado8177 bonds body transformation happened over a one year span, you look at his size and his numbers from his last year in Pittsburgh and then look at him the very next season, his first year in San Francisco, even his stats change drastically, age had nothing to do with that, he was just a 30 homerun hitter in Pittsburgh, their old park was homerun friendly and became a homerun hitter the very next year in a park that wasn't homerun friendly. Mark mcgwire was hitting 40 homers before steroids, remember he holds the record for most homeruns by a rookie with 49, even mark said he didn't start on steroids until a hip injury that happened a few years into his career.
@@freedomfest2741 Very true.....no way to know for certain but I'd imagine Bonds makes the Hall without steroids. Probably would have hit 5-600 without the juice, .300 plus average, 3000 hits, etc. He had plenty of pop naturally but he wasn't a pure power threat before roids. Turned him from a great into a legend.
That's not really the argument at hand but ok lol. Nobody with a rational, functioning brain is saying that steroids magically turn a horrible ballplayer into an all time great
@@crimsontide1980I would say a base hit is a base hit. juice just increases the chances of a home run but it doesn’t increase contact on the ball. Only thing this interferes with is the score board and the pitchers ERA, and I guess the all time leaders board. But mind you out of all the batters who took PEDs Mark and Barry were the only ones could produce those numbers.
Nothing graceful about Big Mac. Just a mountain of a man unleashing freakish power. Like a bull in a China Shop. When Mac and Sammy were trading shots it got people watching baseball again and saved the sport essentially. It wasn’t in a good place at this time, people tend to forget. Sammy had all the charisma and it was a rivalry with mutual respect. I know as a die hard Cards fan i was watching every chance I got. Went to many home games that season. It was some magical times.
It is funny how between hrs 4 and 5 hes like 40lbs bigger lol gotta get on that lifting routine. Dude hits homeruns no matter what though, hes an all time monster
