Then again, he talked about how we should really see MLB for what it is. It’s not just about all the home runs the roided-up players were hitting.

Bonus Canseco Story: In 2011, during his run as a player-manager for Yuma Scorpions, Canseco played a series against the Lake Country Fielders. This was the team owned in part by Kevin Costner, and it was an absolute disaster, to the point that nearly all the position players went on strike during said Scorpions series. The result was a position-swapped game where pitchers played the field and what position players were left (mostly catchers) pitched. Jose Canseco got his first and only win as a starting pitcher this game. If you need a video topic, look into the Fielders. Their story gets wild.

After the MLB players strike in '94, there were a lot of fans who were mad and swore off watching MLB. When the strike ended viewership was way down. MLB needed something to get the fans interested again. Cal Ripken breaking Gehrig's record brought some of them back- but not enough. Players hitting bombs made fans happy and the home run race between Sosa and McGwire was exactly the kind of spectacle MLB needed. It is no surprise that MLB turned a blind eye to the steroids for as long as they could. It sucks for players like Griffey and Frank Thomas to have had to compete on an unfair playing field. It really sucks for the clean guys who never made it to the majors because someone on steroids took their spot.

Baseball Doesn’t Exist’s video on A-Rod goes into more depth, but basically, A-Rod got caught up in Canseco’s lies and ended up under his tutelage while in high school. Canseco then proceeded to give A-Rod steroids, and like with him, it completely changed his career and made him the MLB player we eventually got. In other words, Canseco SOLD DRUGS TO A MINOR, and is now blaming HIM for his problems. I don’t like A-Rod as much as the next guy, but there is simply no defending Canseco here.

He blew the lid off of the steroids scandal. Say what you want to about him, but he deserves some credit for that.

I love the fact that his name translates to english would be Joe Drydog

Here is basically what happened (yes I'm leaving some ugly things out= like his Roid rage incidents and incident with his wife Ester). Jose' started using steroids when his career in the Minors was at make or break point. He instantly turned heads and made the MLB club with Oakland. he was an exciting player . For next 4 years he was excitement personified. MLB said NOTHING about steroid abuse as they needed to generate interest because younger fans were turning to other sports. Then came these GIANT (almost cartoonish- like pro wrestlers) players bashing record numbers of homeruns . Once the cat was out of the bag because Baseball beat reporters were seeing players using or their gear the MLB decided to "crack down" . MLB's idea was "let's get rid of the biggest offender". They looked at Canseco's numbers and saw - "hey if we don't kick this guy out he will have Hall Of Fame numbers". So they basically blackballed him out of the game. He said " oh yeah ..? well I will write a book about my experiences in Baseball and I'll NAME NAMES. In his first book "Juiced" every player he named (except Ivan "pudge" Rodreguez) was either caught with steroids or failed the drug tests. He then went on a couple years later and wrote a follow up book that shed more light on it and let people know that PITCHERS were doing steroids as well - Roger Clemens being the biggest offender. Clemens even threw his own WIFE under the bus when a delivery of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) arrived at his home in Texas - saying it was HERS. I invite all the Canseco haters out there to read his book or books and tell me is Canseco or all the players slagging him (Bonds , Palmeiro, Giambi) telling the truth. He never hides it or denies it. Bud Selig turned a blind eye to all of this for over 8 years.

Jose is actually the man. His book Juiced is really good. and overall he's been a positive for baseball, not a negative. I wish you hadn't used terms like washed up, everybody gets old. He had an amazing career and was one of the best players of his generation. There's plenty of KZreadrs taking the easy route and shitting on him based on the stories they hear and the the way he has been smeared. Try and stand out from the crowd and don't fall for mob mentality. He's actually a super interesting character

I kinda went ghost on baseball for a few years after Jose left Oakland in '92. I didn't really start watching again until 2001 when I became a Mariners fan and have been one ever since.

That first team it showed. The ones in the purple. I played for him and them. Him and his brother Ozzy almost went at it everyday in the clubhouse. Fun times. Lol

Jose Canseco will likely go down as someone who arguably was great, pretty damned great, but THREW IT ALL AWAY. The Oakland A's put up with his antics for seven seasons before dealing him to Texas; he bounced around from team to team, sometimes having great "comeback" years, but never showed signs he'd actually matured! Pity; the guy was a BEAST. Way back in the late 80s, I said then, "enjoy him in Oakland while he lasts, as soon as he hits free agency, 'Steinbrenner' will get him", but by the time Canseco became a Yankee, he was "washed up"! I remember seeing a book he'd put out on conditioning, I still recall his dietary advice: "You can't be a serious athlete and live off of pizza and burgers."

I went to a Brewers - As game in 1989 at old County Stadium in Milwaukee. Batting practice. Canseco hit a MISSILE , I don't think it was more than 8 ft off the ground. It hit some woman in the face...after her boyfriend got out off the way. Her face was a bloody mess , had to be taken out on a stretcher. It might have been the hardest hit ball I've ever seen.

It’s crazy a guy his height and speed he needed roids to hit homer’s.

He was far from the first guy to use steroids in baseball.
