I'm not sure McGwire is a hall of famer ever without the steroid stuff. He was injury plagued for a long time in Oakland. Several great years, but several mediocre ones as well. Take away the 580 homers and I don't know. He is a .263 career hitter with 1600 total hits. He hit .217 in postseason with 5 home runs in 129 at bats. Look at his numbers from 1988 through 1994...not good for supposedly a guy in his peak...yes he had injuries but also some patheitic years...his career then took off in 1995.
Even if he never took a steroid he is no hall of famer.
