I agree. I think MLB made a deal w/ the player's union after the 1994 strike saying they would look the other way as far as steroid use in order to get the fans back to the game. I always thought it was pretty convenient that McGwire retired at the end of the 1994 labor deal. Didn't he leave something like $30 million on the table and a chance at 600 homeruns? I think Big Mac saw the writing on the wall and hung it up thinking he would never be connected to steroids. He looked extremely agitated and exasperated to be at the Congressional Hearings last year. Basically, MLB allowed this to happen and then hung the players out to dry once Congress and the general public started complaining.
