Mark McGwire

     In a nation that forever demands bigger, more, better, faster, Mark McGwire is now a
name, and an event, to be remembered.  On September 7, 1998, McGwire secured himself a
place in baseball history when he broke Roger Maris’s 37-year old record of 61 home runs in a
single season.  This recent accomplishment should not be diminished in anyway, shape, or form,
because of his use of muscle-building supplements.
     Like many other athletes, McGwire takes pills before he works out in order to give him a
better “pump.”  His pill of choice is Androstenedione 100, a unique supplement that raises the
body’s testosterone level by over 337%.  It has been called the most effective testosterone
elevating substance to date.  When you take Androstenedione 100, an enzyme in the liver acts on
the molecular structure of androstenedione, and through this one reaction converts it to
testosterone.  It won’t convert to estrogen, like some supplements, and it will not suppress the
body’s natural testosterone production.  Also, Androstenedione won’t damage the liver, unlike
the muscle-building supplement Creatine.
     Throughout this season, people have tried to lessen and diminish McGwire’s heroic chase
of Maris’s record.  There is much evidence that can be stated to qualify his journey to 62.   First
off, as McGwire was nearing the record, games started to sell out.  Home or away, McGwire and
the Cardinals would always play for a packed house.  It’s obvious that people adore, admire, and
appreciate Mark McGwire.  All you have to do is attend, well try to attend, one of the sold out
games and you’ll see the standing ovations McGwire gets as he walks to the plate.  You’ll notice
that for his entire at-bat, no one is sitting down. They all remain standing until the at-bat is over,
clapping and cheering him on, hoping that they might see #25 send a ball sailing over the fence
into the left field stands.  “Now there’s a reason to come back to baseball,” said S...
