Big Mac shows power in attendance,numbers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Mark McGwire victory tour keeps right on going.
The home run king isn't putting up otherworldly numbers this season and is way off his record pace. He has 17 home runs and even trails four of his contemporaries.
Yet no one rivals him as a gate attraction.
The St. Louis Cardinals are the first team in the majors to draw 1 million fans on the road, topping seven figures on Sunday after an interleague series in Detroit.
last year. After eclipsing Roger Maris 37-year-old record at home on Sept. 8, McGwire gave instant joits of attendance in Cincinnati, Houston and Milwaukee, doubling or even tripling the house wherever he went.
That mirrored turnouts from McGwire's amazing stretch drive to 70
It's happening again, and not just because the Cardinals have played more road games than any other

team. Fans hung for a glimpse of McGwire have gobbled up tickets. The three-game weekend series against the Tigers drew 125,371, and not because it was the Cardinals' first visit to Detroit since the 1968 World Series.
Similarly, it is McGwire, not the third renewal in three years of the 1985 I-70 World Series, that is packing the house for a three-game series in Kansas City against the Royals.
"This will be an incredible experience for our young players," Royals manager Tony Muser said Monday. "This will be the largest crowd they've ever played in front of."
The Cardinals were averaging 32,655 fans on the road, nearly 2,000 fans per game better than the runner-up Chicago White Sox (30,659). Sammy Sosa's Chicago Cubs were third (30,262).
A turnout crowd of 37,248, second only to opening day, had to settle for some tape-measure batting practice homers in the opener from McGwire. He sat out the 7-5 victory in the opener with a stiff back.
Agassi injured but still wants Wimbledon try
HALLE, Germany (AP) — Andre Agassi has an injured thigh that forced him to withdraw yesterday from a Wimbledon tuneup two days after winning the French Open.
Agassi plans to return to the United States for treatment and intends to play Wimbledon, which starts June 28.
He consulted the tournament doctor at the Gerry Weber Open before dropping out because of a pulled muscle in his right thigh.
Agassi: withdraws from tournament with injury.
"it's a great disappointment for me," Agassi said. "I thought two days of rest would be enough." "I'd already felt it after the third round in Paris," he added. "This morning I thought it was only a sore muscle but unfortunately it is not. I don't want to
take any risks."
Agassi won Wimbledon in 1992, his first Grand Slam title. He added the U.S. Open in 1994, the Australian Open in 1995 and this past French Open, giving him a career Grand Slam.
