Jack Clark on Mark McGwire and steroids:

• "If his hand-eye coordination was so good, why did he feel the need to apologize to the Maris family?"

• "It's a shame that he thinks we're all stupid, that he only did [steroids] because of injuries. That's such a cop-out, such a lie. These guys did [steroids] to take the money to pump up their egos and then take their consequences down the road."

• Steroid abusers and suspected users "are all lucky they didn't end up in jail. It's all comical to a certain point. It's a three-ring circus. It really is. From [commissioner] Bud Selig to Tony [La Russa] to A-Rod to Manny Ramirez to Palmeiro ... What a joke."

• "[McGwire's] own manager never knew that [Jose] Canseco and McGwire and anybody else ever had taken steroids? Trust me, from [a former player], I have a lot of insight into who did what and when but I'm not even going to talk about it. It really doesn't matter."

• "This thing stretches a long way back and it's really ugly and just really shocking."

• "These guys are playing the game for their own benefits and it's really disgusting. ... They go up there and shed a tear and they think all is forgotten. Well, it's not forgotten and it never will be."

• "[McGwire is] a sad excuse for a player in the industry of baseball. Just seeing him in uniform makes me throw up."

• "He should not be in baseball. He should be banned from baseball more than ever."
