Rookie talent
For McGwire it was a move in the right direction - instead of no move at all. He wants to be part of baseball for years to come (coaching) and simply had to fess up to something.
Remember 49 Homers as a rookie. How many HOF sluggers had the raw rookie talent to reach 49?
McGwire DID have talent above most in the era, let him in with asterisk - or in a newly formed separate wing of HOF for this era's players.
Also, for goodness sake - let Maris in the Hall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
