Here's the list, that Baseball Reference uses, of players comparable to McGwire. It's a very interesting list.

Of this entire list, only McCovey and Killebrew are in the HOF. You could make a case that those guys hit their HR's back in the day that 40 in a season, and/or 500 in a career meant something.
However, I'd have to say that, using my criteria, they're both borderline guys. I do think Harmon was more deserving than McCovey though.
