You cant be serious in saying McGwire is underrated,and it has nothing to do with andro
as i dont discredit anyones home run totals.I didnt forget anything about McGwire,i saw his whole career,i had his rookie card in 1985,it went right into a plastic page and its been there since untouched.He is to me the most overrated player for many reasons but basically home runs are what runs this sport,highlight shows,etc and thats what he was great at so he gets all the credit in the world for that,but ive heard people rank him as one of the greatest players ever.Thats an outlandish statement


A player that strikes out in 26 percent of his at-bats,hits .263 career and has 18 combined triples and stolen bases in 16 years and was no more than average at fielding at 1stbase of all positions[when he played 3rdbase he fielded .827 or 135 points below average] cannot be considered one of the greatest players of all-time.He batted .217 in the playoffs career and was pinch hit for in his last at-bat,he had 5 seasons where he batted less than .240 and 2 others where he was injured and hit 18 homers total.He won 1 rbi title in his career and was never an mvp nor deserved one.

Is he a hall of famer,yes,but one of the greatest ever,no
