Any one send to Mark McGwire? I've thought about it, but so far I haven't been able to do it.

I did (see 1st post, page 1) but I'm not hoilding my breath. Wait and see.

I hope McGwire signs for none of you ungrateful fans! All he did was entertain everyone and save baseball, and the fans just hate on him. I hope he turns his nose up at all of them!

Based on his signing habits as a player, I don't think it will change significantly as a coach. We can hope, but it's doubtful.

And not everybody is a hater on Mark, either. If I hated him, I wouldn't have sent out a request.


And I sent out a card to Stephen Strasburg today. We'll see what happens with that one.

I sent out to Strasburg yesterday. I would love to see Mark start signing, as I'd love a TTM auto of him. I, also, don't hate him. He's not the only one to use steroids during those years and baseball is also guilty of ignoring the obvious. They wanted the fans to come back, so they conveniently looked the other way. The baseball executives and trainers
also showed little regard for the long term health of the players.

Ungrateful? I will admit, I love Josh Hamilton more, but Big Mac was my favorite growing up, and brought me to the game I love, and I am NOT un-grateful. I was heartbroken when Bonds beat his single season record, and when he retired, and when he admitted steroid use. Just because you side with the steroid users, doesn't mean it is you vs. the world on everything. I still am a big fan, and I haven't burned any of my McGwire things, nor will I, infact, I might even see him April 2nd when the Cardinals come to the Field. Even though I have never seen him play in person, just seeing him would be the greatest thing in my baseball life.

I doubt he will sign though, most plaers of his caliber won't

I got David Price back today! Signed 07 BDP card. Sent to the rays ST on 2/17.

I am saying for the most part fans quit on him. I know there are some smart fans that realize everyone that cared was using something, and know it was not that big of an advantage anyway. But for the most part fans are stupid, and they think steriods are magic pills that make you hit home runs, and you are evil if you use them.

bodiaz: You did say "you guys" so yes, you did make assumptions about us.

No they arn't magic pills that make you hit homeruns... if that were the case than Rondell White would have smoked a LOT, but they do give somewhat of a physical advantage
