Multiple media outlets are reporting (it originated with deadspin.com) that Mark’s brother Jay has recently started shopping a book to publishers, in which he claims that Mark did, indeed, use HGH and steroids.
Of course, he wrote the book not for financial gain, but because he loves his brother.
Mark is a man I think most would like to forgive because his reason wasn’t nefarious — it was for survival,” Jay McGwire wrote. “My bringing the truth to surface about Mark is out of love. I want Mark to live in truth to see the light, to come to repentance so he can live in freedom — which is the only way to live.”
Out of love. Totally. That’s a hell of a guy right there. Way to step up and take one for the team … and by ‘take one for the team’ I obviously mean ‘throw your brother under the bus.’ Asshole.
I’m not trying to defend McGwire. He seems like kind of a jerk and he sure looked like an ass as he sat before congress sweating and nervously answering questions, but who needs their little brother coming out with a tell-all book?
“Who knows what might have happened if I didn’t get Mark involved with all the training, supplements, the right foods, steroids, and HGH,” he wrote. “He would not have broken any records and the Congressional Hearings would have gone on without him. Maybe Barry Bonds wouldn’t have ever gotten involved with the stuff, either.
In case you’re confused, Jay McGwire is claiming responsibility for both Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds having tiny testicles and re-writing the record books. I’m pretty sure I hate this guy.

Mark McGwire took enough steroids to choke a mule with one hand and you want to write book that would piss him off. Oddly no one wants to publish the book. Maybe you and Jose Canseco can do a book signing at the Nobody Cares Book Store at Dana Plato’s gravesite.
