My son and I had the opportunity to meet Mark McGwire at Tropicana Field on July 17, 2021 during a Perfect Game baseball tournament of high school students. Mark's son was participating in the tournament. Although we brought our 8x10 pictures, we were surprised to see him as we were told he did not make the trip from California this year. Mr. McGwire was great! My son talked to him for a few minutes and told him that he watches highlights of him on YouTube all the time, (Which is true). He also mentioned that he watches the movie, 61* quite often as well. I chimed in at that moment by telling Mark, that is one of my favorite baseball movies, and with a bit of laughter in my voice I said, "However, I'm so sick of it because he watches it everyday!" Mark laughed at my comment. Braden then mentioned that he quotes Joe Buck from when he broke Roger Maris' single season home-run record with his 62nd home run, "Down the left field line! Is it enough?!" Mark responded with, "That is so cool!"
