Does former St. Louis Cardinals star Mark McGwire want a comeback this 2008 MLB Baseball Season?

For now, all I can remember of the guy is the year when he made 70 home runs.

Other than that, every single time somebody talks about the guy this 2008 MLB baseball season, his steroid problems seem to become the topic of discussion. Yep, just like Clemens, Canseco and the poster boy for steroids, Barry Bonds.

Now, it looks like Mark McGwire wants to give people something else to talk about every time his name is mentioned. Rumor has it that the former St. Louis Cardinals powerhouse wants to make a comeback. You read it, McGwire wants to have baseball in his life again.

Mark McGwire is considered as one of the most famous men in baseball history. However, he hasn't made a public appearance at a major league ballpark in three years, has declined interview requests and passed on annual invitations to visit his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, in spring training.

Mark McGwire, who made a record in Major League Baseball 10 years ago when he hit the single-season record of 70 home runs, had his last moment in the spotlight back in 2005 because of issues with regards to steroids use and other performance enhancing substance.

McGwire declined to admit that he is slowly returning to baseball. But there are people speculating that he wants to make a comeback. They say that they are convinced the 44-year-old Mark McGwire will be in a baseball uniform in the near future, not because he is in search of glory or a place in the Hall of Fame after two failed bids, but because his enduring passion for baseball is driving him back after he retired in 2001.

''The perception of Mark is so completely different than the reality,'' says Craig Daedelow, a friend of Mark McGwire who often sees and talks to him. ''People think he's out of the game, but they have no idea just how much he's still in the game.''

''He would be a tremendous hitting coach,'' Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd says. ''Really, he'd be great at just about anything he wanted to do in baseball. He has so much passion for the game, and so much to offer.''

Will we see the old big Mac back? There's only one way to find out.
