The Daily SGA Rundown – August 18th, 2015
” Big Mac Attack! “
Best Item of the Day
Oakland Athletics – Mark McGwire Bobblehead
We went with Big Mac for the SGA of the Day today. Of all the steroid era stars, Mark McGwire seems to have salvaged more respect than most. Arod might be in the midst of a crazy bounce back year…but people still hate him. Sammy Sosa has disappeared entirely from the game. But here is Big Mac. Just as guilty as the rest, but he’s back and coaching in Los Angeles.
After his playing career ended, McGwire demonstrated coaching ability, personally assisting players such as Matt Holliday, Bobby Crosby and Skip Schumaker before accepting an official role as hitting coach with a MLB team. On October 26, 2009, LaRussa, now manager of the Cardinals, confirmed that McGwire would become the club’s fifth hitting coach of his tenure with the Cardinals, replacing Hal McRae. McGwire received a standing ovation prior to the Cardinals home opener on April 12, 2010. In his three seasons as Cardinals hitting coach, they featured a prolific offense that led the National League in hitting and on-base percentage,and were second in runs. 
In early November, 2012, McGwire rejected a contract extension to return as Cardinals hitting coach for the 2013 season. Instead, he accepted an offer for the same position with the Los Angeles Dodgers in order to be closer to his wife and five children. (Wikipedia 2015)
So congrats to Big Mac for not only staying relevant, but becoming a respected part of the MLB community as well!
