Hope he doesn't show up weighing 175.

Probably.

Did they ever retire #51? If not, Mac's shouldn't be retired.

I could care less if Mr. McGwire comes back or not. I still harbor bad feelings because of the way he quit and didn't try to come back. However, I better snag some tickets for that game because my main squeeze wants to know everything about him. (Did they have the second baby, was it a boy or a girl?) Sheesh.

The Cardinals should not retire his number. He had several good years with us that were tremendously exciting, but not enough time to warrant hanging a number in the ballpark. (Willie McGee might be another story)

It will be interesting to see his physique.

Look at his numbers from 2001. It was time for Big Mac to hang it up.

You're right if you base it on the numbers alone. I think that his knee was still a problem then. I say this based on only my gut feeling--He owed the fans of St. Louis a come-back attempt.

He didn't owe the fans anything...he quit on his own terms....

I don't think McGee was quite good enough to get his number retired, either. As BW suggests, it should be an HOF or near-HOF player, and that ain't Willie.

Albert Pujols, OTOH, will get his number retired, especially if he stays in StL for the length of that contract.
