Mark studied at Damien High School, in which he started playing baseball, basketball and golf. While still at college he represented the team of the University of Southern California.

Firstly, McGwire began his career with the Oakland Athletics in 1986. In his first season he hit 49 home runs and was voted the Rookie of the Year. He also finished sixth in the voting for the best player. His teammate Jose Canseco was elected Rookie of the Year in 1986 and together they were dubbed the Bash Brothers. McGwire continued his career with 32, 33 and 39 homers and thus became the first player to hit at least 30 homers in his first four seasons. The season of 1991 was not as successful, though. He returned with 41 home runs in 1992, before missing almost two seasons, and hitting just 18 in 74 games in two seasons when he was injured.

Then, McGwire was transferred to the St Louis Cardinals during 1997 – his joint 58 homers set the record for the season. The following season, he hit an all-time record of 70 homers, and then in 1999, McGwire still excelled with 65. McGwire was injured in 2000 and 2001and missed half of each season, but still hit 32 and 29 homers respectively, but then he retired.

It should be noted, that rumours have been flying that the player took performance enhancing drugs in his career. McGwire statistics and achievements are equivalent to those of several members who are inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, but the doping rumors harmed him. At the beginning of 2010, McGwire admitted he used steroids, for the first time during the 1989-1990 off-season, then more regularly from 1993, including his record 1998 season where he had established a new record for homeruns.

Finally, in the personal life of the former baseball player, he married pharmaceutical sales representative Stephanie Slemer in 2002 – they are the parents of triplet girls: Monroe Rose, Marlo Rose and Monet Rose who were born on the 1st June 2010, and two sons. Mark also has a son with his first wife Kathleen Hughes(1984-90).

#Quote
1The only team that could have competed with us was the Cubans. It's too bad they're boycotting. The teams we're playing just can't compete with our power.
2I chose to be retired. I chose to start a family. That was one of the biggest reasons I got away from the game of baseball. I wanted to start a family. I was happy.
3The steroids I did were on a very, very low dosage. I didn't want to take a lot of that. I didn't want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger or Lou Ferrigno.
4I had good years when I took steroids, and I had bad years when I took steroids. But no matter what, I shouldn't have done it, and for that, I'm truly sorry.
5I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.
6My message is that steroids is bad. Don't do them. It's a bad message.
7There's not a pill or an injection that's going to give me, going to give any player the hand-eye coordination to hit a baseball.
8The only reason I took steroids was for my health purposes. I did not take steroids to get any gain for any strength purposes.
9I'm sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids.
10You don't know that you'll ever have to talk about the skeleton in your closet.
11I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the ball had enough to get out. It's an absolutely incredible feeling. I can honestly say I did it.
12Wouldn't it be great if we just ended up tied? I think it would be beautiful.
13I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.
14I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history.
15Performance-enhancing drugs are an illusion. I wish I had never gotten involved with steroids. It was wrong. It was stupid.
16I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.
17Once and for all, I did not use steroids or any other illegal substance.
18I'm not here to discuss the past... I'm here to be positive.
19I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie next to his. I'm damn proud of that.
20Do you want to know the truth, or see me hit a few dingers?
21I have had to tell my son, my parents, my friends that I used steroids. It's been very hard. It's been very difficult.
22This is a great thing that's happening in baseball. We don't know if it will ever happen again.
23I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989 -1990 off season, and then after I was injured in 1993, I used steroids again.
24Baseball was a chapter in my life, and now I'm excited to start another chapter as a hitting coach.
25I know it's tough. Everybody in baseball knows its tough. I'm just going to give it my best shot.
26In '83, we went over to Amsterdam. I just remember people saying, 'Baseball's just starting over here. They're learning how to play the game of baseball.'
27I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.
28Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone.
29I wish that every player could feel what I've felt in visiting ballparks. The receptions I've received, it's blown me away. It's absolutely remarkable.
30What a perfect way to end the home stand, by hitting sixty-two for the city of St. Louis and all the fans. I truly wanted to do it here and I did. Thank you St. Louis.
