Per Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, former Cardinal slugger, Jack Clark had this to say about Mark McGwire and his recent steroid "confession".
"All those guys are cheaters. A-Rod: Fake, phony. Rafael Palmeiro: Fake, a phony. Clemens, Bonds: Fakes. Phonies. They don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame."
"A lot of them should be banned from baseball, including Mark McGwire."
"They should be in the Hall of Shame. They can afford to build it. They've got so much money. And they could all go there and talk about the next way to rub something on your skin.* The whole thing is creepy. They're all creeps."
Clark and McGwire are scheduled to appear this weekend at the Cardinals Winter Warmup event.
If I am the Cardinals GM, I have memo out to the lowly intern(s) setting this thing up telling them that the signing tables for these guys need to be apart from each other. WAY apart. They might even want to get that hand wand from the storage room and scan everybody for weapons on their way in. VIPs included.
Can't be too safe you know.
*Not that kind of site but I will let it go this time.
