Report: Mark McGwire to Become Hitting Coach of the Cardinals

This is reminiscent of the reports on December 7, 1941, when wire transmissions from Pearl Harbor said "Air Raid, Pearl Harbor, this is no joke."

What's next? Will Jose Canseco be named the Athletics' hitting coach? Will Rafael Palmeiro do the same for the Cubs?

How can Major League Baseball continue to ban Pete Rose and permit an uncontrite McGwire to return? He and Sammy Sosa made a mockery of the game when they had their chase to break Babe Ruth's record.

This is ridiculous, and I'll tell you one thing, if Roger Goodell were the Commissioner of Baseball, he wouldn't permit it for a moment.

This is an outrage.

The transmission from Pearl Harbor to which you refer was "Air raid Pearl Harbor. This is no drill."

I stand corrected. Thanks.
