La Russa: McGwire’s Integrity Makes Him a HOFer
Remember the Mark McGwire era? It was a simpler time back then. There was no war, a robust economy, and children and old people could walk the streets at night with impunity. Tony La Russa still lives in those bygone happy years, telling anyone who will listen that McGwire never used steroids. Now he’s stumping for Big Mac’s Hall of Fame chances.
La Russa passed up the chance to celebrate Rickey Henderson’s call to Cooperstown, which is OK because Rickey is all the PR that Rickey needs. Instead he steered the conversation toward his favorite ginger hulk, and you’ll never guess his reason for supporting McGwire. (Or maybe you will, since you can read headlines.) Get this: McGwire belongs in the Hall of Fame because of his “certain integrity.”
