McGwire hit 49 homers as a rookie and I believe those were legit.
He had a great swing, but not the 16-inch forearms that were such red flag later on.
He was, however, very much a 'one-trick pony' as apposed to a five-tool player and the obvious years where he did cheat constitute the only portion of his career that compares favorably to that first year.
