The one thing that made me angry about McGwire wasnt his sterioid use (everybody knew he was juicing; it was pretty obvious lol), but MLBs willingness to take advantage of his growing popularity only to take everything away from him later on because of the steroids they already knew he was taking. They get to keep the money they made because of him and Mark gets nothing. That was one of the reasons I stopped watching baseball in the 2000s. But I still love it enough to watch videos like this, so thanks, Cam23 :D

McGwire made $75,000,000 in salaries over his career. He was not left with “nothing”.

He was dragged through court, his chance of getting into the HoF was ruined; I know hes still rich, but after doing the things he did and bringing a much needed boost to the popularity of baseball, thats a small comfort. Once he retired and MLB didnt need him anymore, they just threw him under the bus.

If he would have just came up with one more stolen base, he would have been 30/30 ten years after creating the 40/40 club. I was checking his stats every game and he just sat there at 29… And if you look at his OPS in his final season with the White Sox…he definitely could have played a few more years to get to 500 HRs.

I'm even impressed that you're doing the steroid guys which should be in the Hall of Fame regardless of how we feel about all the aspects of what happened back in the 80s and 90s. There are some stuff that took place back in the 50s 60s and 70s when it comes to amphetamines and greenies. Hall of famers like Mike Schmidt and late Henry Aaron have once admitted to using. Sammy Sosa should be the next one, Pedro Martinez, Mike Piazza, Ivan Rodriguez, Tim raines, Alan Trammell, Jack Morris.

[@seplays2280]

My dad worked for a company based in NY but him and many of his co workers would go to St. Louis pretty frequently for work during Mcgwire’s cardinals tenure. They naturally made friends with many of the people working in the office in St. Louis, one of the biggest topics of conversation being baseball. Long story short, the guys in St. Louis were surprised to receive a package containing a cheeseburger with syringes sticking out of it. It was clearly a memorable joke as the office in NY would receive something similar 10 years later when Aroid got busted.

[@jamesesterline]

If McGwire doesn't miss nearly all of '93 and '94 and a big chunk of 1995 with injuries and then tries to hold on as a DH in the American League after 2001 (imagine Mark as a veteran leader on a cheap contract with the Moneyball A's, he may have basically been late-career Pujols at that point but he could still mash and had above average OPS so he could've fit in) he probably breaks Aaron's home run record before Bonds

[@stevenj2817]

I think McGwires' right knee was shot, which is why he retired. It's hard to pivot on that knee and generate the power needed to hit the ball out. If he changed his swing to utilize more of his upper body strength, that probably would have injured his back.

[@dukedematteo1995]

Yes. At least another 70 to 80 HRs if he plays in 93 and 94. That's when the ball changed and really started flying out of parks at a crazy rate. Add another few late career years as an AL DH, and he could have cracked 700 HRs.

[@Cam23]

Injuries unfortunately have ruined potential bids for some of the most incredible baseball records. Ken Griffey Jr. is #1 on that list for me

[@Vontastic80sbaby1]

Well steroids mess with your joints. To much weight/mass/muscle gained to fast. So he only can blame himself. And without the juice he wouldn’t have made it. Watching him and Sosa battle that year was fun but deep down we all knew seeing a sacred record be crushed as by not one but 2 people was icky and wrong. Him lying to congress and going on offense was pathetic. Andro was legal and he took it. Just admit it. Instead of breaking a record that’s important to real fans then hugging Maris family. I used to rush to get the paper as a kid to check home run Leaders now who gives a fk.

[@dukedematteo1995]

@Vontastic80sbaby1 he's admitted it like 18 times now? What else do you want from the guy? Personally, I never fault these guys for denying it. Because admitting it never buys them one iota of goodwill or ease from anyone. In fact it usually makes it worse, bc now the writers will call you an "admitted cheater (or insert other super loaded moralistic term) " and write how your apology wasn't anywhere near good enough and your only sorry you got caught, etc. It's all about making these guys grovel and knocking them down a few pegs. No one ever asks these guys " Did you do steroids" in good faith. It's always designed to humiliate the player, by either labeling them a liar when they deny it, or an" admitted drug cheat" in the rare instance they do. So if I was McGwire or one of these guys I would feel no obligation or need to admit to or apologize for anything.

[@mac7133]

Say what you want about steroid users, but you cannot deny the impact they had on the game in the 90s. And in the case of McGwire and Sosa, they revitalized baseball when it had been dying after the strike (and it was pretty damn fun to watch, too)

[@Wanderlust598]

Put McGwire in. Andro was legal at the time, and he came clean at any rate. They saved baseball.

[@Vontastic80sbaby1]

I can’t agree. Hear me out. I grew up a Oakland As fan. Base brothers. Bay Area huge baseball fan. Was at the game when Jose Canseco got traded. While he was in the batting circle. They announced he’d been traded to Texas. Marks Rookie season was legendary. But his down season whole going thru that divorce. *If you remember his home run race season vs Sosa his son being there was a major theme. But Marks resurgence was totally roids. Ankles and knees ended his career which is a side affect of usage. Bonds and Clemens had HOF careers before steroids. Barry could’ve retired after Pittsburgh and Roger after Boston when they clean and still made it. MM now way. Plus him lying to congress and acting like Jose & Him never interacted when Jose was shooting him up is clown s**t. He’s memorable to us if you seen him but shouldn’t be remembered or immortalized. Players who went from great to insane should get in with an asterisk. But Mark ain’t one of those guys. Saint Louis should be celebrating Bob Gibson Ozzie Smith Albert Pujols not Mark. That’s why they renamed 70 from Mark McGuire to Mark Twain. Andro was legal he should’ve admitted he used. But him tryna lie and act like he broke the most important stat in sports *at that time* home runs then hugging Maris kids is scummy. Roger lost his hair and bleed for that record and Mark destroyed it on bullshit.

[@decker528]

Those injuries are also just a result of being big. Human ankles and knees aren't much stronger just because a person is big. Bigger guys in every sport stay hurt once they get a little older. Did the roids contribute? Possibly. I don't know what he was on but they certainly made him bigger which alone put more stress on his joints

[@decker528]

Also, we already know that it's very likely guys like Pudge, Piazza, Bagwell , and Ortiz weren't natural. It didn't keep them out and we have no idea how much it contributed to their careers

@@GizmoBeach I mean I “somewhat” agree but not to the extent you’re saying. PEDs do nothing to improve you’re skill, hitting mechanics, vision, pitch selection, etc. it definitely makes a difference in your power but that’s it. You can take all the PEDs you want to but if you don’t have the skill it’s not gonna make much of a difference. Like you can upgrade an engine all you want to get the most power but without tires it doesn’t matter if it’s 300HP or 800HP it’s not going anywhere. Did PEDs effect the numbers in the end, I think it obvious they did but to what extent we will never really know. PEDs or not it doesn’t change the fact that McGwire was a great hitter.

[@GooffuX]

@trevor8307 Yeah Clark's final stint with the Cards was actually amazing even if it was only like 50 games (seriously look at those stats!), he was absolutely killing it and obviously had a lot left in his career tank but chose to retire 3-5 seasons early to raise his kids. Otherwise he'd be a 3000 hit guy with around .300 career avg and 100% be in the HOF, I'd say he deserves it anyways!

What’s fascinating to me is that if we ignore the steroid usage (which we should), mark’s overall war is…much less than you expect. Like BY ALOT. I recall going to check up on mark’s career and it was only 62.1. His highest war in a season was about a 7. It’s high but not exactly that much. His jaws (which tries to be more specific on the position) he is below. I mean really. So what did it? How can I guy with. Near .400 obp be things…pedestrian? Defense. I mean it’s really bad. Which is shocking since being a first basemen is suppose to be easier for a big slugger. So this actually makes mark hard to evaluate. Is he a HOF? Well by offensive stats yes, but his post season was surprisingly not good, and his defense really lowers bar. He really is below the standards on paper but is that enough? His offense is jsut too good much like Gary Sheffield. I’d say he’s prob borderline much better than Sammy Sosa overall.

[@enmanuelpagan1080]

Hey, Cam23, I want to see Pedro Martínez next. Thank you.

[@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy]

[@Oldtimeleftie]

[@Cam23]

[@MrWrinkleYT]

[@benkrejsa6895]

[@Cam23]

Thank you for watching!

[@apointtomake1517]

He hit 70 homeruns without wearing body armor and practically standing on home plate.

[@CSDonohue11]

PED SHOULD BE IN ESPECIALLY THE GUYS BEFORE IT WAS EVEN BANNED THEY DID NOT BREAK ANY RULES

[@commiehunter733]

Best homerun hitter

[@civilwarwasaninsidejob7405]

Mark gets a lot of flack and hate, but the reality is he was pivatol in the history of the league. Big Mac made life long baseball fans out of many of us in our 30s. My parents were finished with the MLB after the '94 strike. Big Mac brought my family back to the ball park. The MLB and fans cherry pick which PED users they wish to villafied. Guys like Ortiz get placed in the HOF, yet Big Mac will always be looked at as a stain on the league.

[@Cam23]

I agree 100%, 1998 saved MLB's reputation and restored fans' interest. You saying that reaffirms the truth to that claim!

[@trevor8307]

Totally! After the players strike of 94-95, I also went on strike. I didn’t last too long once I saw McGwire destroying everything in 1996. For me, that’s my favorite year for Big Mac. He had been injured for three years, missed the first month…and just came out like a wild bull! It caught everyone by surprise! I feel like it was his most “complete” season with that .312 batting average as well.

[@carlozz8670]

Next video Robin Yount plz

[@Bradleytosh]

Man these are the goat videos

[@Cam23]

[@agentallstar7]

Not putting some of the best players ever into the HOF is a joke.

[@Mma-basement-215]

[@cupheadandmaskedsinger3523]

How about one about Keith Mitchell

[@trevor8307]

Kevin?

[@JeremyWaldrop-ls2pn]

My favorite slugger I don’t care what they say about him ⚾️

[@GizmoBeach]

I recall how McGwire's BA slipped to .230 for several years then all the way down to .201 w/ about 20+ HR's. Already he was looking washed-up in his late-20's. But the next year he rebounded to 42 HR's and a .268 average. Injuries curtailed his performance the next two years before storming back in a big way. At the time it just seemed like wow this is the guy we all expected to see after his early returns and now that he's finally healthy again this is the result...THEN we learned what really happened.

[@hyzercreek]

Babe Ruth was messed up in 1925, he could have taken steroids too but they weren't around, so either way Mcgwire had an unfair advantage, and Ruth got 714 anyway despite many disadvantages....shorter seasons, 5 years of dead ball era (1914-1919).

[@mikesnow4735]

Edgar Martinez

[@Tony-go7ej]

I call him a hallfàmer

[@englebergsmith5420]

Let's get a vid on Ozzie Smith or Murray.

[@Demon_of_Razgriz]

While it's up in the air about letting people who have used steroids in the HoF or not. I do think the accomplishments themselves should. Baseball may not have the place it does in the USA without the '98 HR chase between Sosa and McGwire, steroids or not.

[@GizmoBeach]

That time period is a stain on baseball. What stinks is the apologists and McGwire/Bonds etc. lovers puking out how "everyone was on PED's then" which is a slight to all those who didn't cheat and made the grade w/ their natural gifts.

[@Demon_of_Razgriz]

@@GizmoBeach We don't even know if baseball would be around for you to call that time period "a stain on baseball" if it didn't happen in the first place. But then again, you are allowed your opinion, just like I am.

[@piersoneverett7928]
