Mark McGwire

Mark McGwire nicknamed "Big Mac", is a formerMajor League Baseball player who played his major league career with theOakland Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals. He is now the batting coach fo the St. Louis Cardinals. In 1987, he broke the single-season home run record for rookies, with 49. In 1998 McGwire and Sammy Sosa achieved national fame for their home run-hitting. That year McGwire hit 70 home runs breaking the major league record at the time.

In 2010, after accepting the position of Cardinals hitting coach, McGwire admitted to using steroids during his playing career. Many of McGwire's accomplishments, exspecially 1998 season in which he broke Roger Maris' single season home run record, came under suspicion during Major League Baseball's steriod scandal in the 1990s.
 
Mcgwire once said "I wish I had never touched steroids. It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era."

And how dont you know you are taking steriods?
Should Hank Arron still have the title of having the most home runs ever in a career?
