News about Mark McGwire

Major League Baseball's fans have ripped this year's All Star Game's 'ugly' jerseys, worn by the players during Tuesday night's game at Globe Life Field. In reverse from what MLB tradition has been, players wear the custom All-Star jerseys for the actual National League versus American League game instead of their team's uniform. On Monday night, the players wore their individual team jerseys instead of the All-Star jerseys.

When Sammy Sosa spoke to veteran Chicago sportscaster Lou Canellis at a signing in Windy City on Friday, he was expecting some softball questions. Rather, the slugger of the former Cubs was promptly reminded of the steroid controversy that resulted in his expulsion in Chicago. 'You recognize the fact that maybe you did do steroids?' Canellis, a Fox 32, asked a visibly shocked Sosa. This is... not a question that I aspired from you,' the 55-year-old Sosa said, like I said. Sosa, the Cubs' all-time record holder with 545 home runs, is also on the loser's on the North Side. Slammin' Sammy was suspended by the Cubs and moved to Baltimore after he turned up late for the 2004 finale at Wrigley and was recalled early. In addition,, he and other suspected steroids cheats such as Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire were refused admission to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writer's Association of America for ten years, leaving them with no way to be honoured in Cooperstown moving forward.

Although injuries are normal in sports, they do occur in the most tragic of circumstances. Cherry is not the first sportsperson to have been barred from action due to a strange accident, and it will not be the last. Sport has seen it all, from power drills to jars of salad cream, and there will almost certainly be more to come. Mail Sport has obtained a look at some of the most bizarre injuries suffered by athletes in the sport.

In a spring training game involving the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals, a dog made his owner's day by fetching a baseball that flew into the stands. In the seventh inning for his second homer of the spring, Dodgers prospect Michael Busch batted a ball over the fence, and fans scrambled to retrieve the ball as they often do during regular-season and playoff games. However, a cunning canine grabbed the ball and rushed back to its owner before anyone could stop it.

Josie Canseco (left), who debunkled a series of Instagram messages, denied that she is a nepotism baby despite her father Jose (inset and together right) earning more than $45 million during his decorated baseball career. After Jose declared bankruptcy in 2012, Josie, a well-known Victoria's Secret model who was named the cover girl of Modeliste Magazine in July, said she was in debt for years and had to work to reclaim her family name. The former outfielder and designated hitter's fortune then plummeted when he published his tell-all book Juiced: The Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, How Baseball Got Big, which chronicled widespread steroids use among some of the best baseball players of the time, including Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. Jose has since purchased a $1.1 million house in Las Vegas, where he owns a car wash.

The Los Angeles Lakers threw the Indiana Pacers 112-111 on Thursday night, LeBron James had 26 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, bringing him within 63 points shy of becoming the NBA's career scoring leader. James has 38,325 points, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holding the record at 38,387. "I just knew my game was more on the interior tonight," James said. "Needed to get some rebounds," says the author, "I felt like we were attacking, particularly in the fourth quarter."

Since Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids during their careers, many baseball fans would blame them for their season's highest home runs of 73 and 70 runs respectively. But 24-year-old Manoah claimed the title actually belongs to Cole during an appearance on Serge Ibaka's 'How Hungry Are You?' Manoah asked the question and decided not to answer correctly in order to avoid the forfeit of drinking a cricket-infused, tea-like drink.

Following Aaron Judge's historic 62nd home run in Texas Tuesday night, Stephen A. Smith and Chris Russo got into a tumultuous debate. Judge Now holds the American League record for most home runs in a single season (62), and will now not add to his total number after being left out of the Yankees' final regular season game on Wednesday. Russo and Smith debating whether Judge was the best home run hitter of all time given the links Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire — all ahead of Judge all-time — must use steroids.

Roger Maris Jr. has used Aaron Judge's record-breaking home run to talk about baseball's doping history, as he deemed the Yankees slugger the 'new clean home run king.' On Tuesday night, Judge John Kerry scored his 62nd home run of the season, defeating Maris Jr.'s father Roger Maris' previous AL record of 61. However, the issue of the overall single-season record remains more complicated, with Barry Bonds (73) and Mark McGwire's (71) single season marks being compared. Despite this, the pair have since confessed to using steroids.

You don't want to be a part of the record books every single day. You may have been caught on a few websites for reasons due to something you did not do. At other times, you're in possession of the record books because you encouraged someone else to write their name. Take Mike Bacsik for example. Who is Mike Bacsik you may ask? Well, he was the pitcher on the Washington Nationals, who gave up a record-breaking 756th home run to Barry Bonds. After facing Aaron Judge on the verge of tying a record-tying 61st home run on Wednesday night in the Bronx, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Eric Stout was determined not to be another Mike Bacsik.

After a tumultuous baseball scramble, Mike Kessler, a 20-year-old college student, met with Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees in his 60th homer on Tuesday night. Judge's ninth-inning longball not only put him one home run behind Roger Maris' Yankees and American League records, but also helped New York beat the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8. Giancarlo Stanton, a teammate, won the game after a walk-off grand slam later in the game. However, it was Kessler who came away with a sense of victory as much as Judge did on Tuesday night and during his historic 2022 campaign. 'It bounced off someone's hand,' Kessler told The New York Post. 'I reached and grabbed it and then bear-hugged it.' I just smothered it. It got off to a rocky start. It was a huge pile.'
