I agree with the above few posts. McGwire was a one-trick pony and that one trick was chemically enhanced. He shouldn't be in the hall - numbers (which he hardly has) or not. And Frink's right-on about the All Star Game. I watch it myself every year and look forward to the pomp & circumstance. That said, as Frink pointed out, it's just a popularity contest for an exhibition game. A player's true value to a team is demonstrated 162 other times every year.

Another thing that's becoming a drag about this whole ordeal (confession, hall arguments, other players commenting) is that it seems like every time McGwire opens his mouth, he sounds more & more moronic. Just say you did them, for however long, apologize, and get on with Spring Training. Stop the explaining - it's really not helping.
