...nice guy--Mike Tyson captivates--but McGwire happens to be Oprah-fied in all the right ways. He missed the opportunity to hit 50 homers in his rookie season in order to be present at his son's birth. After a batting slump and a divorce from his first wife, who had been a college girlfriend, he started therapy, and he has stayed with it. His three-year, $30 million contract stipulates that that his son Matthew, now 10, who is often the Cardinal bat boy, gets a seat on the team plane...
...really want to find out what someone is like, you ask their exes. McGwire gets along so well with his ex-wife that he has her over for parties.

...serious affair and conceded that her ties to women in college were "more emotional than sexual" anyway. But she insists "they would have led to sexual relationships" had they continued. Her husband, a former Kinko's manager now with Exodus, is more defensive about his wife's credentials. "It doesn't matter whether she dated 400 women or one. She was a lesbian." So there...
