On this day ...
SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 — Mark McGwire set a new magic number for baseball, clobbering two homers to reach No. 70 in the St. Louis Cardinals’ season finale against Montreal. His 70th home run was a line-drive shot over the left-field wall on a first-pitch fastball from Carl Pavano in the seventh.
