I think baseball owes McGwire a gratitude of thanks for putting baseball back on the map where it should be.

I was a professional athlete, the best baseball player in the world at one point.

I'm just basically telling a story of my life.

If you look at our world, it's a world of critique.

All I have is the truth, and I've proven that.

I don't think I've lost a beat at all. Because of my physique and my look...I fit in the natural action-hero role.

I had already developed inherited back problems. I had degenerative disk disease, a form of scoliosis, arthritis. And I truly believe that if it weren't for the use of steroids - I'm not saying steroids is for everyone, but in my case in general, if I have not used steroids, I mean, physically right now I'd probably be a wreck.
