    I 100 times out of 100 take this home run derby format over the one we currently have. The emphasis on each individual homer was was so much greater as opposed to now where its just endurance based. Seeing guys hit absolute moon shots is what the derby is about.

      mcgwires balls might have been small but they definitely didnt stay in the park when he hit them LMAOO... The sheer amount of power he had, he was never an on base hitter, His home run percentage 9.42% is #1 above bonds and ruth, he has the most home runs in the least amount of at bats.. In 2001 he hit 29 home runs with a .187 batting average.

      @@douglas61920 I agree that the reason is obvious, but the definition of cheating is slightly skewed here as well. For one, there wasn't a rule against anabolics in baseball at that time. For another, MLB - the curators of the HOF - didn't seem to care one iota if those guys were dropping syringes next to the bat donut in the on-deck circle before every at bat. Baseball cashed in on "the chase" and promoted the living daylights out of it to breathe life back into the game even when it became apparent that something was afoul. Not one, but TWO guys zeroing in on the single season HR record at the same time? They knew and they were all too happy to hide behind the lack of a specific rule against it. In fact, it wasn't until Canseco's book came out that baseball really felt pressure from Congress to institute rules.

      flipnotrab
      Agreed that drugs won’t improve hand eye coordination. They didn’t use drugs for that. Drugs weren’t needed for that. Drugs was the difference between a 300 ft fly ball and a 350ft+ homerun. The difference between a 350ft homer and a 400ft homer, and so on. Big homers and plenty of homers got you big contracts too. Drugs helped your strength, muscle fibers, and “quick twitch” muscles. Baseball is a game of inches right? Well, if you’re juicin’ and extra strong with a quicker than avg bat, you can wait a tick longer for a pitch which in turn lets you see the ball for a tick longer. It’s similar to seeing 95+ mph as if it were 85-90 mph...because their added strength & power allows them to wait longer. In baseball, that’s a huge difference!

    I remember this night. I was living in St Louis but was visiting my grandparents in CA. I remember sitting in front of the TV watching with my grandfather and being so proud it was a Cardinal putting on the show. Great memories

    Growing up Mcgwire was my childhood hero, I miss these days tremendously. The 1998 MLB season was the greatest season in history. Just my opinion... There will never be another season like this one ..

    I remember when i started watching McGuire when he played for the cardinals, i was about 10 years old and every game i happened to watch he hit atleast one homerun. I watched atleast 20 of those televised games. Absolutely crazy. I was never disappointed.

      My first pro baseball game I ever went to was the Seattle Mariners. Being a 80's and 90's kid Junior was my favorite player and all I wanted was for him to hit a home run that game and he didn't let me down. It was in the Kingdome and they lit off fireworks after he hit it. It was awesome.

    Stanton hit 59 a few years ago. Really hoping Judge and Stanton can pull off a season like Maris and Mantle if they can stay healthy in the post steroid era. Love to see a player not on PED revive this record again. Watching Bonds, Mcguire, and Sosa chase the record was beyond exciting. Stanton hits some bombs with 118 mph exit velocity. Love to see a healthy season with Judge and Stanton getting 60 plus
