I was a big McGwire fan in '98 and cheered him on when he broke Maris' record. I was in Veterans Stadium that year in May when he launched three moonshots.

However, sadly, I would vote no. A preponderance of the evidence strongly suggests his use of performance enhancing steroids. His embarrassing evasion of the question,"Did you ever use anabolic steroids?" may not sustain a criminal conviction, but is tantamount to taking the Fifth Amendment. In fact, his answer was designed to avoid a perjury charge while not having to admit to the use. When he was not under oath, he emphtically denied the use of steroids as chronicled in Canseco's book. Before the Senate he sang a different tune, and has avoided the topic since then.

It is therefore a reasonable and logical inference that he did steroids.
