Mark McGwire apologizes for steroid use

Most of you have heard by now about how baseball slugger Mark McGwire has come clean on his use of steroids.

McGwire grew up in Claremont and Pomona and, according to the COURIER Almanac from last year, still holds the Claremont Little League record for home runs. He once played baseball for Claremont High School before transferring to Damien High School.

The COURIER has put a poll on our homepage, asking readers if you think he still deserves a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Be sure to cast your vote.

Here's a clip of a teary McGwire discussing his steroid use in an interview with the Associated Press.
