Mark David McGwire (born October 1, 1963), nicknamed "Big Mac", is a former American professional baseball player and coach currently serving as hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers. A first baseman, McGwire played in Major League Baseball for the Oakland Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals between 1986 and 2001.
I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.
Wouldn't it be great if we just ended up tied? I think it would be beautiful.
What a perfect way to end the home stand, by hitting sixty-two for the city of St. Louis and all the fans. I truly wanted to do it here and I did. Thank you St. Louis.
