"Down the left field line, is it enough? Gonneee!!! There it is!!!! 62!!!! Touch first Mark, you are the new single season home-run king!!!"
We all remember where we were on that September night in 1998, when Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris's single season home-run record of 61 home-runs. I was thirteen at the time, and I was lost in the moment. Words couldn't describe how I felt watching McGwire circling the bases giving the Chicago Cubs players high-fives, and hugs. Watching the greatest moment in baseball of my youth. Looking back, I can't believe how naive I ,and even the world were.
A few days ago McGwire admitted that he used Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) during majority of his baseball career, including 1998. I feel so used. I worshiped this guy that year. My summer was revolved around the home-run race between McGwire and Sammy Sosa.
