Juana Summers of stltoday.com says that a bill that would strip Mark McGwire’s name off of Interstate 70 is headed to Gov. Jay Nixon’s desk.

Lawmakers named a six-mile stretch of I-70 in St. Louis “Mark McGwire Highway” after the Cardinal slugger’s 70-home run season in 1998. If the bill becomes law, the section would carry the name of Missouri’s most famous author, Mark Twain. When the highway was built in the 1950s, it was named for Twain.

The stripping of the name is likely due to McGwire’s use of performing enhancing drugs during his career.
