ST. LOUIS, Missouri - Mark McGwire is returning to baseball as
hitting coach under St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa.
The Cardinals said Monday that La Russa had agreed to a one-year
contract for a 15th season as manager and that McGwire will replace
Hal McRae.
McGwire hit a then-record 70 home runs in 1998 and retired with
583 homers in 2001. He famously refused to answer questions about
steroids use during a congressional hearing, saying he wasn't there
to talk about the past. He has received little support from voters
for the Hall of Fame.
