Well maybe the 3000 K's I have to check.  And I see what you are saying. But you are making it out like McGwire had a few good years. Those years '88 to '94 were very productive numbers wise for him and he was among the league leaders in all of those years. His career #'s will get him in. I don't agree with the juice stuff but his career #'s are hard to avoid. |
I think he's comparable to Hack Wilson who got in the HOF solely on a 6 year period 1926 to 1932 without any additional years that McGwire had and his so far untouchable 191 rbi season in 1930. Interesting side stat on Hack...in his 56 home run 191 rbi year in 1930 he also had 18 sacrifice hits!! Imagine that today...Felipe Alou laying down the bunt sign to Bonds!!
