It’s brothers like Jay McGwire who make me thankful my parents called it quits after producing just one sibling. In Mark and Me: Mark McGwire and the Truth Behind Baseball’s Worst-Kept Secret, Jay not only throws his big brother under the bus, he runs him over. Of course Mark McGwire lied about the impact of steroids. Of course his steroid induced arms and legs became lethal weapons. But, did the guy who first exposed Big Mac to the world of steroids need to write a book on what the rest of the planet already knows?  If Jay felt compelled to make a name for himself by using his brother’s celebrity status, he would have been better served hosting a charity softball game promoting the dangers of steroids.  Mark says he’s so upset with this book; he may never speak to Jay again. He’s well on his way, since the two haven’t exchanged words since 2002.  This is a case of the body builder (Jay) vs. the home run record builder (Mark) in a sibling showdown that will only get uglier. Calling F. Lee Bailey!  Is there a lawyer in the house?   For these two muscle heads, this feud adds new meaning to the term, clean and jerk.
