Max Scherzer begins to talk about Mark McGwire and closes his eyes in an attempt to feel better, but he is unable to finish his sentence. McGwire discusses Scherzer while his voice falters and tears start to form in his eyes.
McGwire has never met Scherzer, the right-hander for the Detroit Tigers who will start the American League in Tuesday’s All-Star Game. The hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, McGwire, has never spoken to Scherzer.
Nevertheless, they have a special bond that was formed over a memorable summer, a handwritten note, and a bat. McGwire admits to getting emotional while speaking about it to USA TODAY Sports. “Max is someone I’ve never met, but I feel these unbelievable things for him.
“I’m going to give him the biggest hug of his life when I finally get the chance to meet him and see him,” she said. The relationship started in the summer of 1998 when McGwire captivated the nation by eclipsing Roger Maris’ single-season home run record, including Max and Alex Scherzer of Chesterfield, Missouri.
