When Mark McGwire was playing for Tony LaRussa, he later admitted he was taking steroids for “health reasons” as well as PEDs and Human Growth Hormones. When he finally came forward and told the truth, everyone, including LaRussa, was happy for him and appreciated his honesty. And I’m sure LaRussa had absolutely no knowledge of McGwire’s use of drugs. But did McGwire’s performance at the plate help Tony LaRussa win baseball games? Absolutely. In fact, his home run hitting ability won many a game for the St. Louis Cardinals. Now don’t get me wrong. I believe Tony LaRussa will go down as one of the great baseball managers of all time. But it doesn’t seem fair that LaRussa was inducted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame and McGwire, even to this day, has been shut out. One would think that since LaRussa benefited from McGwire’s performance at the plate that LaRussa would not be allowed into the Hall. But he was. And my point is: Either allow LaRussa AND McGwire into the Hall of Fame or don’t allow either of them in. It doesn’t seem fair.
