I was a teenager back then and remembered watching the games if they were on national TV. I won't forget being so excited to receive my weekly Sports Illustrated which covered the race.
I enjoyed the show. It wasn't too "dramatic" because it seemed inevitable that the record would be broken that year, plus McGwire and Sosa were friends and not enemies. They saved the steroid talk to the end, which I think was wise so that it did not cloud over the joy most fans experienced during that season. It was funny to see even back then that the Marlins were a laughingstock.
Name and town if you wish to opine.
