I don't think McGwire is admitting this now to try to get into the Hall of Fame. I'm sure he feels that is not going to happen. I think he was hoping to avoid a media circus every time the Cardinals were visiting another major league city and as he was trying to perform his duties as hitting coach. You know the media would have asked him endless questions about steroid use in every town the Cardinals visited. He's probably hoping that if he just admits it and lets everyone talk about it now, that by the time the season starts it will be old news.
