Wojciechowski : McGwire needs to come clean before he comes to clubhouse

McGwire didn’t technically lie that March day in Washington, D.C. He didn’t do anything, really. He was an empty suit, giving empty testimony and empty promises. He forgot how to read his own moral compass.

Now McGwire can right a wrong. It’s the least he can do for anyone who remains unsure if Big Mac’s special home run sauce came from a hypodermic needle or a rust-colored, plastic prescription bottle.

Some will say he owes us nothing, least of all an explanation. He’s served his time. His baseball life has been ruined.

If that’s true, I didn’t ruin it. You didn’t ruin it. He ruined it.

He did it by cheating the sport he loved and apparently still loves. He misled the fans. And when he had the chance to explain himself under oath, McGwire basically took the Fifth. His testimony was so tepid that if it were a cup of tea you could pour it on your crotch and not worry about burning anything important.
