“anager Tony La Russa said his
ppearance was almost as
is one of his home runs.
‘‘Whoever coached him for that
appearance, we ought to hire” La
Russa said. ‘‘He was outstanding —
surprisingly. I was really impressed.
I didn’t expect him to be anywhere
near that good.”
Of course, not everyone was that
complimentary. After all, McGwire
played himself.
‘‘He shouldn’t quit his day job,”
pitching coach Dave Duncan joked.
Landing in bed on screen with
Helen Hunt was one of the highlights
of McGwire’s hectic offseason. He
did not appear until late in the half-
hour show and did not have a lot of
lines, but pulled off his role without
a hitch in one of those mistaken-
identity, wrong-room routines.
His best line came at the end,
when he and Hunt were at the
breakfast table the morning after.
Paul Reiser walked in wearing a Car
dinals uniform.
“You remember, they’re going to
be throwing you junk all year
long,” McGwire said. “So just wait
for your pitch.”
