Bud Selig is happy Big Mac is back in baseball.
Mark McGwire was hired this week as hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, ending an exile for the former slugger who became notorious for his refusal to answer congressional questions about steroids use.
"Over the years I developed affection for players who I get to know and have been good," Selig said Thursday before Game 2 of the World Series.
McGwire hit a then-record 70 homers in 1998 and retired with 583 in 2001.
