Mark McGwire should make it to the Hall of Fame




Mark McGwire is a famous baseball player who took steroids! After years of people thinking that he was taking drugs, Mark McGwire finally came clean, admitting he used steroids when he broke baseball's home run record in 1998, but he also said he didn't "need performance-enhancing drugs to hit the long ball. I was given a gift to hit home runs". Mark McGwire also said, "there's no pill or injection that's going to give any player the coordination to hit a baseball". He didn't tell any people what type of drugs he took. Below you can see a video of Mark McGwire admitting to using steroids.
I think that if no one found out he took steroids he would have definitely made it into the Hall of Fame . Here are two pictures of Mark McGwire before and after he took steroids. I think people were suspicious because if you look at the first picture he is really skinny and in the second picture he is giant. Mark McGwire broke a record when he hit 70 home runs in 1998 during a race with Sammy Sosa who finished with 66 home runs. I think now after a few years they should put Mark McGwire in the Hall of Fame even though he made the wrong choice of taking steroids because at the same time other people may have been taking steroids but just didn't get caught and they may have made it into the Hall of Fame and it seems unfair to him.
