Mark McGwire Crushes 3 Homers at Fenway

McGwire's mullet dancing and patting him on the back as he rounded the bases.

[@mullet75]

I approve this comment

[@RaymondStone]

Mullets were just part of the A's culture from the late 80s to the late 90s. Look up Jason Giambi's first career home run (titled: "TOR@OAK: Giambi hits first Major League home run"). It happened that same season less than a month after the game shown in this video. Giambi's flow was just as long as McGwire's.

I looked up that game. The pitcher Smith threw 6 innings and gave up three runs. The three solo shots by McGwire. He did his job and kept his team in the game. The Sox offense did nothing that day and their bullpen gave up 5 in the ninth to put it out of reach. Final 8-1 Oakland.

@@easteurthuggin7265 ---- There is the belief that it helps with hand-eye coordination as well. I don't know though, I'm definitely not an expert. But it's a big advantage, whatever it all entails. That's why the number of HR's dramatically increase for players who have taken them, even despite getting older. And for me, it's only the fault of the McGwire, Bonds and company that people forget how good they were before steroids. That's what happens when you tarnish your reputation. Also, just makes you realize how incredible players like Babe Ruth were, to hit 60 HR's in a season.... before adding 3 new MLB teams and 8 extra games in 1961, when Maris broke his record.
