Back card text[]
Goldberg can claim credit (at least a hit) for Mark McGwire's record-breaking 1998 campaign. Prior to a late-August Nitro in Miami, Goldberg visited the St. Louis Cardinals slugger at Joe Robbie Stadium, home of the Florida Marlins. The two heavy hitters met near the batting cage and McGwire rubbed the bat on Goldberg's muscled chest. Weeks later, McGwire was baseball's home run king. Goldberg, meanwhile, took batting practice prior to a game in Cincinnati and actually "went yard." Before a December Nitro match in Houston, Goldberg received a high five from five-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens.
