I was at a yard sale today where there were a number of Mark McGwire items for sale, including an unopened box of Safeway Cereal. I've never had any interest either way in his career, but McGwire had a rather interesting final season:
Games 97
At Bats 364
Runs 48
Hits 56
2B 4
3B 0
HR 29
RBI 64
W 56
K 118
BA .187
OBP .316
SLG .492
OPS .808
I know that some will look at these statistics as being tainted, but just over 55% of his hits went for extra bases with 51% being home runs. His body had given out, but what an exit.
