Mark McGwire just dropped a bombshell on Major League Baseball, finally owning up to that fact that he used steroids during his MLB career as a member of the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals.

Mark McGwire steroids use was deemed “off and on” and for over a decade and was a key factor in him breaking the MLB home run record in 1998.

According to Big Mac, “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.”

This revelation comes as McGwire returns to baseball as the Cardinals as a hitting coach and only received 21.9% of votes this year on the Hall of Fame Ballot.

So first Sammy Sosa admits to steroid use and now Mark McGwire was juiced… I guess you can throw out all the records of the late 1990s…

So shockingly enough a report came out in the New York Times yesterday alleging Chicago Cubs All Star outfielder Sammy Sosa took performance enhancing drugs in 2003. Huh… What… Really??? In other breaking news the Baltimore Orioles won’t be making the playoffs in 2009… I mean is any of this really surprising anymore? Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens. Who wasn’t linked to the juice in the late ’90s early 2000s other than the team owners and managers?

Luckily for fans Major League Baseball has appeared to clean up the sport in recent years. Stricter drug testing means you can see some steroid free baseball by paying what you want for MLB tickets on SaveFans.com.
