They Said
It: McGwire on his struggles
''How bad did it get? Well, for the first time, I disliked
baseball. It was frustrating answering the question, over
and over, 'Are you going to be able to hit .200?' It was
frustrating trying to climb out of a hole that got deeper
and deeper. It was
frustrating listening to all the hooting and the hollering. I
started joking in the clubhouse that I was going to give up
baseball to shoot pool for a living, or maybe, like some of
my friends, become a policeman. I was joking, but there was
an element of
truth in what I was
saying.''
