He didn't play as much in his last two seasons. Was it because he was not the same player he used to be? And when Mac retired did it leave a bitter taste in his mouth after what went on in the 2001 NLDS vs. the D-Backs?
I think he had back problems in the last two years. His bat speed slowed down and he couldn't hit anything. I think he retired a few weeks into the last season after deciding he just couldn't play anymore.
The last two years he was hit with back pain that wouldn't go away he missed a lot of games those two years and then he just retired because the back pain got so bad at time it was hard for him to walk let alone hit a ball and run the bases.
With September 11th delaying the end of the season, Cal Ripken retiring and Tony Gwynn hanging up the spikes, I don't remember McGwire at all that year. The World Series was so great that year, does the rest really matter?
He got off the juice and became a crappy hitter. Then a peanut vendor kicked his *** for parking in his spot. McGwire cried like a little *****.
