 Say what you will about Mac, he was a good hitter, the steroids or HGH what ever gave him the strength to hit the HRs but his hand eye coordination made it possible.  If he can pass that along more power to him.

I think he is looking to give back to a sport that gave him so much.

 McGwire becoming hitting coach is the second best thing that's happened to us this year! (next to signing Holliday)

 He may be a good change. It seems he's helped Holliday, and he trusts McGwire. If it helps them keep Holliday, then it's obviously a smart move. I think the fans in St. Louis will warm up to having him again. I don't have much respect left for him, but I bear no ill will either, so if you're a Cardinals fan, I hope this works out for you.

 Most Cardinal fans are going to welcome him with open arms, standing ovations and all of the amenities of a conquering hero can have bestowed upon him. Their love exceeds that of Barry Bonds in San Francisco, who did far worse to the sport, yet is still an idol in the Bay Area!

The question is whether this move is a solid, strategical move, or a publicity stunt. As one that has bled Cardinal Red longer than he's been alive, I hope BOTH!
