FILE -- In this Sept. 27, 1998 file photo, St. Louis Cardinals' Mark McGwire smiles as he rounds the bases after hitting his 70th home run of the season in the seventh inning against Montreal Expos pitcher Carl Pavano, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. McGwire is returning to baseball as hitting coach under St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. The Cardinals said Monday, Oct. 26, 2009, that Tony La Russa had agreed to a one-year contract for a 15th season as manager and that McGwire will replace Hal McRae as hitting coach.
