A new book proposal, submitted by the admittedly estranged brother of Mark McGwire, claims the former major league slugger used both steroids and human growth hormone during his career.
In the proposal, first reported Wednesday on Deadspin.com, Jay McGwire alleges that Mark used Deca-Durabolin and that he introduced Mark to performance-enhancing drugs in 1994.

What's lame? These revelations? Less lame than USING DRUGS.

I introduced Mark McGwire to Cold Stone Creamery. Can you believe he'd never had it? Crazy I know.

Your estranged brother WRITING a tell all book about your drug use is lame. I don't care how true it is, no one should be profitting from this shit.

"Drugs whose effect on baseball performance is unknown."
Keep playing that card. It's a good one.

"My bringing the truth to surface about Mark is out of love. I want Mark to live in truth to see the light, to come to repentance so he can live in freedom -- which is the only way to live."
Yah yah yah.

I won't be able to watch it until it shows up on Netflix or TSN here, but Long Gone Summer, the 30 for 30 on McGwire-Sosa, airs this Sunday.

Didn't realize it started this past Sunday...It's on TSN here, so I'm catching up with the first part on the computer. Had to take a screenshot of this, some on-filed reaction to McGwire's 23rd (on May 23).

McGwire's 62nd birthday--the number seems significant.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 1 October 2025 17:47 (two months ago)
it really is wild how McGwire/Sosa/Bonds get eternal-sunshined from today's discourse yet A-Rod is still out there every week, full pardon and forgiveness...
