Mark McGwire: Home Run Hero
$5.99
This was a very good book, until I got to the last few pages. There, I found out that the famous 62nd and 70th homers were NOT included or reported about. Obviously, there wasn't much research done because the whole book was full of quotes moving the story along. I'd say that no more than 1/3 of the whole book was actual writing done by Rains himself. But, this was still a fairly good book. The pictures in the centerfold could have been a little bit better and more updated as well. But, the writing is what's important, right?

Race for the Record: 1998's Race to Break Baseball's Most Coveted Record [VHS]
$14.95
The baseball season of 1998 turned out to be perhaps the most exciting and fun season ever. Two legendary sluggers, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire battled down to the last day of the season in the most historic chase ever-the elusive single season home run record of Roger Maris. McGwire got off to a fast start, having tallied 27 round-trippers by the end of May, while Sosa had only 13. But when the calendar turned to June, Sosa went on the greatest home run tear ever for a single month. He belted 20 long balls that month and set the stage for a dramatic back and forth battle for the rest of the season. This video contains thrilling Sosa and McGwire home runs, as well as testimonials from other major leaguers and sports columnists. It also shows Sosa and McGwire in their early days, from McGwire's rookie record 49 home runs to a noticeably thinner Sosa connecting off of Roger Clemens for his first career home run. The video also shows the great Maris-Ruth battle and the struggles Maris went through while chasing the Babe. Testimonials from the Maris family make this video enjoyable, too.Perhaps the best part of the video is the relationship formed by McGwire and Sosa. These two sluggers genuinely liked and rooted for each other to succeed. There are several clips of joint press conferences shared by them, as well as Sosa running in from right field to congratulate McGwire after his record breaking 62nd home run. This video is a must for baseball fans and will bring excitement each time it is watched.
