I am no McGwire fan at all but I do think baseball stars in general took too much heat for PED use due to the nature of baseball. This isn't the only sport in which steroid use is a major issue, but it's the only one that's been destroyed because of it. The NFL has never really had to face the music on this issue, and there's something fascinating about the double standard for PED users across different sports.
Two 60 HR seasons in 130 years of major league baseball. Then all of a sudden, in the midst of steroid prevalence in baseball, there was six 60+ HR seasons in a 4 season window. But according to McGuire " It just made me feel normal " - TOTAL NARCISSISTIC BS ! This " apology " made it even worse !
Gnasty G that’s not the point man. Yes he had the hand eye coordination no normal person has. But the steroids robbed the game of a beloved record and tainted the game of baseball forever. The roids easily added 20+ homeruns not to mention helped his body recover faster, an option others who didn’t take any drugs didn’t have.
So Jose Canseco gets shamed for telling the truth. Some of those guys owe him more than they know, and should help him out any way they can. Unbelievable to me #RestoreCanseco
The problem with Canseco was that he wasn't trying to save the sport that blackballed him. He did it to make money. Think about the players he told about who were his own teammates. They owe him nothing. It's sad too because I grew up watching Oakland.
John is the man thank God he got to speak out its the same in the gym when I worked out I knew nothing about all that stofe and I got desxureged because you see every body geting quik gains thinking something is rong with you
It doesn't take strength to hit a home run. If your using strength to try to hit a home run you don't know how to bat and will probably never hit one. It doesn't matter if it goes 2 inches over the wall or 200 ft over the wall. A home run is a homerun. Swing earlier and you don't even need bat speed. Just a good fastball. Prove me wrong
Not to hit one. It's possible with solid swing a pitch's velocity redirected toward the bleachers. But to regularly hit them? You need strength. The force it takes over the course of a season I don't believe someone could without having some level of strength.
Imagine if ken Griffey jr used steroids to help recovery from injuries and was never injured as much. Good lord the numbers that sweet swing would put up!!! Jr was probably the last great natural homerun hitter
@@roweshowtactical well tbf the main ped users were all snitched out, the ppl who did it during that time were pretty much all caught red handed. Griffey was never suspected, but was tested like everyone during that time frame. I guess it’s possible he’s a genius and found a way not to get caught, but I doubt that
@@sugarsingh4951 who says Griffey was never suspected? He had his best years the same years as Sosa and McGwire. His body broke down on him like steroid users bodies do. Again, you can’t say he didn’t nor can you prove he didn’t
Lol Obviously, He has some Talent because he made the MLB, Obviously he needed some hand eye coordination to make baseball pro level...so hitting the ball is one thing. Hitting it 400-500 feet because of steroids is cheating. Glad you support cheaters, says a lot about your character 😊
what hurts him for me is he tries to make it as PC as possible. and is in denial almost that it gave him strength… and acting like he took “low dosages” for all those years as if tolerance ain’t a thing
The reason he took it for was for strength other wise how can he use it to heal healing goes with strength thats how you build strength its the ability to heal quickly more then an average person then builds strength quickly
Mark still can't admit he was wrong for taking it because after he says its bad but then at the same time saying I could have still hit all the home runs
I commend finally telling the truth we all knew before he did. But he still was unable to fully bear the brunt of what he actually did. We all know he couldnt have set those records with steroids because regardless of your ability his body wouldnt have allowed him a chance to once it started breaking down. The only natural way to do that and try wouldve been to semi retire get fully healthy then return like some great athlete even in that era attempted to like Griffey Jr. with some success but not like they had before. Currently we'll see if Gronkowski can do it as a TE in the NFL.
He had to use it to perform he said that so wich means he wouldn't have hit all those home runs because he wouldn't have bin able to play baseball wich means he needed it to hit wich makes all that fake
Wright? You mean right.......right? Stop commenting on stuff until you can learn to spell. You obviously don't know anything about that Era of baseball or spelling.
I know he fucked up but at around 40 minutes, talk about a smir campaign via espn. Steroids weren't considered to be this awful thing back then. Guy put a needle in his butt damn
What a freaking joke Tony Larussa! When you say it isn't right just stop there. When you say he just did it to feel stronger that is what steroids does for you which gives you the edge that someone like Roger Maris or Babe Ruth didn't have the opportunity to do.
Absolutely. Not a lot of people knew McGwire better than La Russa. There is no way he could have been as clueless about what was happening in his locker rooms and clubhouses as he claims to have been.
I think that was always the answer but greedy ownership has nullified that. Look at the current divide between players and owners holding the season up. SMH
But they put Ivan Rodriguez in. Who used steroids. He has been named. Give me a break.

It’s because the record of all records was broken unfairly. If the homerun record wasn’t involved I don’t believe the game suffers as much
@@sugarsingh4951 exactly in the nfl players are not rushing for 3000 yds or getting 40 sacks a season like what happened with baseball
the nfl went to congress too…. stop making excuses because u like the sport. also plenty of sports that are roid free

He lied under oath …should have got jail time
Steroids helped him recover but he did gain an edge. Any idiot knows that. He has a Job get Jose Canseco a job.
@Jose Bueno Yea Steroids helped him hit a 90 plus fastball! Lets see you take some steroids and go out and hit one 400 ft.
Gnasty G that’s not the point man. Yes he had the hand eye coordination no normal person has. But the steroids robbed the game of a beloved record and tainted the game of baseball forever.

@@sugarsingh4951 Even athletes in the past were on some sort of PEDs. Amphetamines were huge back then.

Yea, there no way in hell anyone is help Jose at this point.
Lol gave "substance". Journalists and their puns.
And I'm sure there's a lot more

Mark McGwire and Lance Armstrong are of the same mindset. Yet McGwire gets a pass.
My goodness, how many times Mark has rationalized in his head that what he did was ok. Smh
Did it hurt anyone? I don’t get how it’s *that* bad. Like him and Sosa (bonds too)or hate them they still changed the game.
@@TheMW2informer who said it hurt anybody? all he did was make a observation of how dude is trynna soften the blow

If you dont need strength to hit home runs then why women cannot hit home runs in the big leagues?

An "American Heroe"
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!
You spelled hero wrong......just saying.
Tony LaRussa the GODFATHER manager of ROIDS. Canseco and McGwire.
He did not tell the truth all this time!!!
Mark's brother was a bodybuilder and the other an NFL player, and yes, he's the one who is notorious for steroids.
How is McGwire a hitting coach???
Because he was an awesome baseball player? He was great long before he took steroids for 1 season that was later in his career.
@@TheMeanArena lmao he's a cheater
Ikr i thought that was only reserved for great hitters with high batting averages like tony gwynn or john kruk.
They give credit to McGwire for coming forward but won’t even apologize to Jose, double standards
It doesn't matter how many steroids you take... If you ain't talented you ain't touching the ball.. He's still one of my favorites
Lol Obviously, He has some Talent because he made the MLB, Obviously he needed some hand eye coordination to make baseball pro level...so hitting the ball is one thing. Hitting it 400-500 feet because of steroids is cheating.
Glad you support cheaters, says a lot about your character 😊
Steroids helps your hand eye coordination, recovery, and strength, so yes steroids most definitely help
@@firebird_spleen4190 thank you

McGuire is a needle coach!
I'm surprised there's so few comments on this video
Joshua Loher Yeah, me too.
Joshua Loher Tell us about it!!!
Because baseball as a sport and institution is dying. I remember being a kid and eating sleeping everything was baseball.
He had to use it to perform he said that so wich means he wouldn't have hit all those home runs because he wouldn't have bin able to play baseball wich means he needed it to hit wich makes all that fake
Where the hell are all you grown ass people spelling words wrong? Go back to elementary school.
steroids made the game way much better....Thank you Steroids...
It ruined the game
And I would say that the maris family is wright about maris still holds the record....
Wright? You mean right.......right? Stop commenting on stuff until you can learn to spell. You obviously don't know anything about that Era of baseball or spelling.

Absolutely. Not a lot of people knew McGwire better than La Russa. There is no way he could have been as clueless about what was happening in his locker rooms and clubhouses as he claims to have been.
There for he used it for strength so wich makes him a liar to say it didn't help him hit better then people who don't use it
He's a liar
Couldn’t just admit and leave it at that eh?? Dude you got bigger then Goldberg🤣 You just lost all credibility with this interview!!
Chicks dig the long ball.
Genetic manipulation and he doesn't get my vote
You can't vote anyways
Mark lies to much
shorten the season to 144 games.
Why?
I think that was always the answer but greedy ownership has nullified that. Look at the current divide between players and owners holding the season up. SMH
@@edge1000 its waaaaaaaay too many games. Way too many.
And the fact that there making it like its all right to use it makes base ball fake and evry one knows its bad for you
