Re: Mac admits using steroids...
It will now be interesting to see if that raises or lowers his 2010 23.7% HOF vote percentage.

I applaud Big Mac for coming clean. I think in time America will forgive those who tell the truth, and his voting numbers will spike upward.

Re: Mac admits using steroids...
As a STL fan and a baseball fan I was happy for him to come clean....anyone who did not think he used is very naive...he was already assumed guilty as he practically admitted guilt by not denying in front of congres....This was the best thing he could have done for himself and hopefully it can turn positive for him.
He gave us a lot of memories and we have to as fans understand that steroids were part of the game..we must mark it down in history as the steroid era which baseball itself turned a blind eye to and move forward...put everyone in the Hall that deserves based on their impact on the game and their stats/accomplishments with the understanding that everyone who played during the era could be subject to questions regarding PED's....we have no way of knowing who did and did not use before the testing.
Baseball's history are full of cheaters and given the chance those who played in a different era very likely would have taken any and everything to help them play longer....

Re: Mac admits using steroids...
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...Dave

Re: Mac admits using steroids...
Its kind of interesting he admitted this right after the halll of fame vote. In addition he came fully clean, saying he used throughout his career. Not like someathlete's who said I used for a short period or only once. I think this will hurt his HOF chances, because he said he used throughout his career.
