Finally! Mark McGwire comes clean about steroids. And I can wear his jersey again.

From a PR standpoint, McGwire needs to achieve two primary objectives:

1. Re-establish his credibility with the baseball community.
2. Avoid being a distraction during spring training with a team that has high expectations for 2010.

His public admission January 11 is a start to achieving these objectives.

Now I wonder if Tiger Woods will consider his example.
