Mark McGwire is baseball's first slugger since Babe Ruth to hit 50 or more home-runs in consecutive seasons. The St. Louis Cardinals' first baseman was the first player in major league history to hit thirty or more home runs in each of his first four seasons. Mark McGwire: Slugger! is a biography of the baseball superstar geared toward children ages 6-11. Slugger! describes how McGwire overcame poor eyesight and various injuries to become one of the most revered hitters in baseball today. He quickly has become an almost legendary figure in St. Louis, the home to baseball legends such as Stan Musial, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Red Schoendienst and Ozzie Smith. McGwire thought about being a police officer growing up, but he hit a home run in his first Little League at-bat and the rest is history.
