Mark 'The Incredible Bulk" McGwire had little to say about being left out of Cooperstown in his first public comments since the Hall of Fame announcement.
Amid questions about his role in baseball's Steroids Era, McGwire was picked by only 23.5 percent of voters in totals released Tuesday — far short of the 75 percent needed for induction.
"I had an absolutely wonderful career that I am very proud of," McGwire said as he signed autographs at a charity event benefiting the Orange County Abuse Prevention Center. "I'm not in control of what happens — I was in control of hitting the ball."
This is the same Mark McGwire who refused to answer questions about steroid use during his playing career at a congressional hearing, repeatedly telling a House committee he was "not here to talk about the past."
