Mark McGwire providing hitting instruction – something he allegedly will do for Tony La Russa and the Cardinals starting next season – would be akin to Milli Vanilli teaching the finer points of voice and song.
You think Albert Pujols is anxious to heed the infinite wisdom of a guy who hit a whopping .263 lifetime and struck out every fifth plate appearance? You think Matt Holliday or Troy Glaus will be chatting up Big Mac -- notorious for being a dead-pull hitter -- on how to drive that outside pitch the other way? You think for a second that La Russa really knows what on Earth he's doing?
The answer to all those questions is ... Ummmmm, no.
It will be interesting to see McGwire's approach to coaching as he prefaces each and every tip with his signature, "I'm not here to talk about the past."
Sorry, big guy, but the past is all you have to go on.
