I'd like to to see a player come clean when there isn't anything "in it for them" other than to clear their conscience....
I doubt that Mac was shaking in his boots about NOT getting the hitting coach position. I'm pretty sure he could have taken this to the grave with him and not allowed his little kids to find out...Mac's a pretty private person. He could have just said 'no' to the job offer. He knew what would happen if he did in fact say 'yes'.

Probably feels pretty good for him right now. Many good ballplayers are not in the hall for whatever reason...
