Jose Canseco Is Still an Idiot
Jose Canseco just can’t stop talking. Or writing, as it were.
Canseco’s book, Juiced, may have very well started the Steroid Revolution, leading baseball to accept that it had a problem, and his naming of names which turned out to be pretty accurate gained him a certain amount of credibility. Then, he followed that [...]
