Quote:After Chicago picked Mason McGwire, his dad received a congratulatory text message from Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. Recognizing the amusing element to this situation, Mark McGwire had some fun with his reply.
"I said, 'How ironic is it,'" McGwire said, "'that three or four years from now, Mason might be toeing the hill and making his debut against St. Louis in Wrigley Field?' How great would that be?"
The Cardinals' legend let out a laugh when asked whether he would be wearing a Cubs hat when that moment arrives.
"Absolutely," he said. "I'm looking through the internet trying to buy some Cubs apparel. So, yes, I will be donning Cubs apparel."
