This week in McGwire HR history

 
7/5/89:
McGwire hits his 100th career homer, but that's about the only good thing that happens on the day for Oakland. Despite Big Mac's five RBIs, the A's lose 12-9 to the Royals at the Oakland Coliseum and fall out of first place for the first time since June 4.

"You know what the guy is? He's a freak. It's even crazier now than when we were both in Oakland. These stadiums, they're like Little League parks to him."
