* The only time Mark McGwire will be connected with National Public Radio

January 20, 2010 · 0 comments

Our favorite game show host, Peter Sagal, included the recent shocking news about Mark McGwire on the latest episode of Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.

In the “Who’s Carl This Time” feature, sidekick Carl Kassel offered the quote:

“I used very very low dosages. There was no way I wanted to look like Lou Ferrigno or Arnold Schwarzenegger.”

Sagal: That was somebody saying, actually, yes, he had use steroids after all now that you mention it. Heh heh. Who was it?

Caller: Mark McGwire:

Sagal: Indeed. Well! Knock me over with a syringe. As it turns out, when Mark McGwire suddenly became incredibly muscular and started blasting home runs at an unprcedented rate back in the ’90s, it was not because, as he said at the time, he had been bitten by a radioactive Barry Bonds in a lab accident. He came clean, finally, as it were, most say because he’s going to be rejoining the St. Louis Cardinals as a hitting coach and he wants to be able to share his wisdom with the young hitters, his wisdom being, “Work hard, practice every day. Oh, just kidding. Here, stick this in your butt.”
