@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck The funny part is that corking a bat has been shown to do very little other than completely destroy the structural integrity of the bat and it will actually hit balls worse since you're hitting the ball with less force.
Tbf to Canseco, the MLB doesn't want anything to do with NOT because of his use of steroids. They don't want anything to do with him because he ratted out the league and ruined MLB's cash cow entertainment product.
yup. word of the steroid use was gonna come out eventually, but the mlb was fine banking off of the guys using them and would keep it going for as long as profitable.
@@Gerald-r6o I don't believe he brought it back specifically. I'd say the '98 home run race, 2001 Bonds, etc were the bigger factors. However, Canseco did have a significant hand in what cultivated during the 90's/2000's.
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.
@@mikesnow4735 He never needed that crap and neither did those cheaters. The NHL survived missing an entire season and baseball would've been just fine w/o a stupid cheating "home run derby" for ignorant fans to slobber over.
As far back as 1990 Jose was considered something of a joke? I mean that's what Raphael said about Casey Jones' Jose Canseco bat in the 1990 TMNT movie. But OTOH, isn't it around 1990-91 that his 1986 Donruss rookie card peaked at $100?
I dont care if it was the roid era, Canseco was a blast to watch....the HR he hit in the 89 ALCS at Sky Dome still shocks me to watch it....he absolutely destroyed it.
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.
Mine too. I started watching baseball religiously because of Canseco and McGwire, mostly Jose. I have every card still including the once ever so sought after rated rookie. Not worth squat money wise but I have a lot of great memories because of that guy
@@rustyjenkins1357 hopefully you have that rated rookie in a giant plastic screw down case. I am from KC so back in like 90 91 would go to royals games just to see the A's and canseco, good times.
Jose is my all-time fav player :) So sad to see mlb blackball him at the age of 37 when he had plenty of juice (no pun intended!) left in the tank! He would've surpassed 500 hrs, not written the book, and the game (and HOF) would probably look wildly different at this point.
Yeah, that's it. People who weren't following the game at the time probably don't realize the timeline. MLB wanted Jose gone before Jose was ready to go. Basically, MLB was managing the transition away from this era on their terms.
@@joeryan82 and if you look at his qualitative stats from his final season in 2001, he was still very good. If he wasn’t blackballed he would have hit 500+ HRs.
Dale Murphy was a stellar human being that hit 398 home runs. Numerous mvps on worst team. If Murphy doesn't get in...Canseco doesn't. And I live them both. But Murphy more
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 UA-camrs 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
And Canseco must not be that bad since the Oakland A’s invited him back in 2019 to celebrate their 30 year anniversary of their World Series win against the Giants and he was part of the broadcasting team for a few years To me it was Mark McGwire who was getting shunned from baseball as after his career was finished he did come out and and admitted that Canseco was right all along since he took steroids himself as an Athletic and as a Cardinal I think Canseco felt hurt by MLB and his peers that he was the only one ratted out so to get back at all of them he released his book and named several players which then destroyed their careers or died at a young age due to steroid use
Part of why you’ll find music tracks from video games like Diddy Kong Racing in UA-cam videos is because few video game music tracks are registered in UA-cam’s copyright database. And in general those are the highest quality music tracks you will find can be used in videos without getting copyright claims.
Yes, from 1988-1991 he was by far the most popular player and most recognizable name in the sport. If you don’t agree, it just means you weren’t old enough to remember. Bonds and Griffey were his successors.
Steroids existed in baseball before Canseco and after, but few were as electric as this man in his prime. Injuries took him down and he still put up numbers wherever he went to the end. You had to be there.
Never forget Jose when this dude walked up to the plate the ground would shake the bat looked like a toothpick in his hands mfer was out there looking like Brock Lesnar
What does pedro Martinez getting in have to do with Jose canseco getting in ? Pedro was never linked to steroids and is one of the best pitchers ever. Jose has admitted to PED use and doesn't have the numbers for the hall
Steroids were not banned by MLB until 2005. Despite this, Barry Bonds, Arod, Mcqwire among others are not in the HOF. Jose doesn’t deserve to be based on his performance but the others absolutely do.
Yeah, he had no talent. Rookie of the year, six time all star, most valuable player, 2 time world series champ, 38th on the all time home run record list.
I can see the headlines now: Bash Brother Crushed By Cryptid! Former superstar baseball player, Jose Canseco, hospitalized after sustaining wounds due to "hunting bigfoot." Hunting partner, Skeeter Teeter, is being held for questioning after saying, "Turns out, sasquatch is better at hunting us, than we are at hunting them. That damn 'squatch owes me eight grand!"
Hey Stark Raving Sports, just as a joke one time can you do a joke video called, There are in fact two Brady Feigl's. There is already a wikipedia page about this so your research is already done for you. You could also do the Matt Duffy's even Khris Davis vs Chris Davis. Anyway, you could have a little fun. Keep up the good work.
The fact that Canseco hates A-Rod isn’t just ironic, it’s honestly disturbing. 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.
It's also really stretching the truth and ignoring other facts, which this video does a lot of. The incident with Esther was sensationalized by the press and even Esther said it was nothing and that they both actually bumped each others' cars. Jose did not ram her. Fact is, Jose just told ARod who he could talk to if he wanted drugs, and the main reason he hates him is because ARod went after Jose's wife.
Canseco did not sell drugs to ARod. ARold asked Jose where he could get some and Jose just gave him a name and number to call. Then ARod went hard after Jose's wife.
At 2:16 a stats graphic would be greatly appreciated, however my high ass can’t say enough great things about the random Zelda OOT music during the bash brothers description.
In the 80s I loved Jose Canseco (or as my next door neighbor would call him "Jose Canstrikeout": we never agreed on sports... He was a Bears fan and I was and still am a 49ers fan). 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.
2011 I believe it was, Jose was on a minor league team (player/coach), playing the local team here in Calgary. He actually put himself in to pitch at one point, and my friends and I were having a ball heckling him. Yelling that it's HIS plate when he tossed a little chin music, asking if he can get us McGwire's autograph....good fun. After a little while doing so, Jose sent the third base umpire over to eject the hecklers from the game.....who he thought were the guys in front of us. Poor guys got ejected, whereas I got a signed empty D-Bol bottle from Jose, post-game :)
The Savannah banana should have batting practice one day and everybody’s just hitting like shit and then Jose Canseco comes out gives everybody a little pill (obviously use sugar pills) and all of a sudden they all start hitting bombs
Now we have to ban Smarties candy from the league. Either that or the Bananas play against a team getting "accidentally" hooked up with M&M's by Rafael Palmeiro.
Wasn't he on a trashy reality show in the mid 2000s too? Or was that his brother? So much bizarre stuff around this guy it's hard to fit it all into a video.
Really cool video man, I remember, jose Days like it was yesterday and I remember when the red sox, my red sox got him I was a very excited little kid, then I got the pleasure to see him play live a few times the guy was a Beast we all knew he was on something. It's sad, though that he decided to be a whistleblower to make money after and call out all the other players like that was gonna give him good merits with mlb All it did was let everyone know he was a rat, and everyone else was a rat. We already knew they were juiced up. Especially big Mac. It does not take a dummy to know that that was steroid era Of baseball, honestly, I think every player was taken steroids back then. Even the ones that are in the hall of fame right now and that's the sad truth about it, but absolutely he should not be allowed in the hall of fame. All of his home runs should be taken away every accomplishment. Championship, all should be taken from him. This is the same league that bans him, but will not allow shoeless. Joe Jackson, one of the greatest baseball players to ever play that did not even know how to sign his name without being embarrassed. Put in X on the paper hit over 400 In the world series did not have one field error However, he put that x on the paper, so he's guilty. There's ones that should be allowed back in. There's ones that should be allowed to be put in the hall of shame. Jose always will be in the hall. Of shame great video man
Jose Canseco was a great player who won the MVP in 1998 Had several other All-Star level seasons and had a great career I'll remember him as a stud who had his production reduced by back injury (not unlike Don Mattingly)
Every single UA-camr thinks you just take steroids and becoming a beast at sports . “It’s no wonder why he was a beast” Like you can be juiced to the gills and still not come close to hitting a 95 mph fastball or a 12-6 curve .
back in the 80s my prize possesion was an jose canseco baseball card that cost me 20.00 .. i still have it somewhere , wonder if it went up or down in price
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
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.
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."
Canseco was my favorite player growing up in the late 80s early 90s. Steroids was the moral panic of the 90s. cheating? no. Like, they decided something was illegal and banned AFTER everybody did it. that would be like making porn illegal now but going back and punishing everybody that watched it.
He also once help "hit" a home run for the opposing team by somehow making the ball bounce off his head. Think about this for a second, all the thousands of balls flied out near the wall nearly a home run, so many gloves put in the air, the one and only time a ball bounces on a player's head and goes over the wall for a home run, it just so happens to be Jose Canseco. The craziness of JC just never ends.
This guy was called a snitch because MLB blackballed for making his steroid use because he made it open to the public. He called out the famous players using roids in order to get back at MLB. I tell ya a story. In Miami on Bird Rd at a gym called Spinellis back in the 80's my friend who was a member at the gym said, he saw Canseco outside of his Lambo shooting up a gym bud. He didn't give a f**k. Nor does steroid use guarantee you to be a MLB star. Twin brother Ozzie hit a homer first at bat and went 1 for 36 and MLB cut his ass and he never saw the big leagues again. Canseco is a LEGEND. If he wouldn't have gotten injured he'd hit over 700 homers easy. The name will forever be tied to fastest bat speed ever on a 36 ounce bat, massive homers, and a great ball player.
Props to Jose for exposing MLB on it’s steroid use. He was dead on with his accusations. His books were very enjoyable reads. He also explains some of these controversies from his perspective, like beating up the bouncers who got what they deserved ( if they indeed did what he described ), or the public incident with Jess Canseco. True or not, they are interesting perspectives.
I was a fan during his bash brother days in Oakland. Incredible bat speed. How the hell can anyone strikeout 180 times in a season and still bat .300? That was Jose. But when he said that the HOF black balled him, after that he turn into a snitch. Does this guy have any MLB friends? This dude was PROUD taking roids. Just read his book. He said that Ben Grieve never took them, but steroids could of helped his career, said Jose. Good for Ben Grieve. Only MLB that didn't cheat on his wife was Roger Clemens ( now divorced how ironic ). So was Jose hiding under the bed to confirm this? Honestly, what a joke. I'm not a fan anymore. I thought he will be respectable, following the old rule what goes on in the clubhouse, stays in the clubhouse. But he didn't. There is no honor in his game.
He and barry bonds both claimed that MLB blackballed them because they werent signed into their late 30s/40s respectively. Neither were shy about their use of steroids, id imagine barry's were psychoactively better because his contact tool and eye increased with his power as well.
@@antonioreconquistador"neither of them were shy about their steroid use" Jose canseco was always open about steroids but barry was definitely never open about it
Steroids were legal with no legal issues of use or possession prior to 1988, in 1990 they were scheduled; in 1991 the mlb put a rule on paper with no testing or penalties. It wasn't until after his career that testing and penalty was added, probably because of his book. I think all the markets with no MLB team should start a steroid league team.
Funny thing about Mexican league baseball, you can buy steroids over the counter at a farmacia there; but steroids are not allowed in Mexican baseball. He wasn't even allowed his TRT which is needed to live a normal life when not making your own naturally.
I didn’t word it quite right in the vid but yes i know doing steroids is cheating lol
good clean fun enjoyer
It's not technically cheating when the league doesn't ban or test for it.
And cheaters NEVER win.

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.

Hunting partner, Skeeter Teeter, is being held for questioning after saying, "Turns out, sasquatch is better at hunting us, than we are at hunting them. That damn 'squatch owes me eight grand!"
I'm not even joking some of the articles i read for this video have worse titles
great video
It’s hilarious in hindsight how he guest appeared in a Simpsons episode.
They couldn't have predicted he'd be so out there he'd make most Simpsons character look normal.
@@drinfernodds Yea
Hey Stark Raving Sports, just as a joke one time can you do a joke video called, There are in fact two Brady Feigl's. There is already a wikipedia page about this so your research is already done for you.
You could also do the Matt Duffy's even Khris Davis vs Chris Davis. Anyway, you could have a little fun. Keep up the good work.
The fact that Canseco hates A-Rod isn’t just ironic, it’s honestly disturbing. 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.
I actually didn't see while researching for this vid. That's fucked
It's also really stretching the truth and ignoring other facts, which this video does a lot of. The incident with Esther was sensationalized by the press and even Esther said it was nothing and that they both actually bumped each others' cars. Jose did not ram her.
Fact is, Jose just told ARod who he could talk to if he wanted drugs, and the main reason he hates him is because ARod went after Jose's wife.
In all fairness, Canseco is goofy, but a likeable guy, where ARod is disliked by many...
*The majority of professional athletes are on some sort of PEDs*
Canseco did not sell drugs to ARod. ARold asked Jose where he could get some and Jose just gave him a name and number to call.
Then ARod went hard after Jose's wife.
Was wild when he played for my hometown Worcester tornadoes and i saw him in wendys 😂
Saved a woman's cat and a player piano from burning in a house fire.
At 2:16 a stats graphic would be greatly appreciated, however my high ass can’t say enough great things about the random Zelda OOT music during the bash brothers description.
In the 80s I loved Jose Canseco (or as my next door neighbor would call him "Jose Canstrikeout": we never agreed on sports... He was a Bears fan and I was and still am a 49ers fan). 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.
2011 I believe it was, Jose was on a minor league team (player/coach), playing the local team here in Calgary. He actually put himself in to pitch at one point, and my friends and I were having a ball heckling him. Yelling that it's HIS plate when he tossed a little chin music, asking if he can get us McGwire's autograph....good fun. After a little while doing so, Jose sent the third base umpire over to eject the hecklers from the game.....who he thought were the guys in front of us.
Poor guys got ejected, whereas I got a signed empty D-Bol bottle from Jose, post-game :)
The Savannah banana should have batting practice one day and everybody’s just hitting like shit and then Jose Canseco comes out gives everybody a little pill (obviously use sugar pills) and all of a sudden they all start hitting bombs
Now we have to ban Smarties candy from the league.
Either that or the Bananas play against a team getting "accidentally" hooked up with M&M's by Rafael Palmeiro.
Wasn't he on a trashy reality show in the mid 2000s too? Or was that his brother? So much bizarre stuff around this guy it's hard to fit it all into a video.
The Bash Brothers were the greatest watch in baseball during their era😢
I wasn't even an A's fan as a kid in the 1980s, but I loved Canseco and McGwire. I follow José on Twitter. He's hilarious.
he never had a stroke or heart attack yet so he's doing something right with his injections
Dude, do a breakdown on Pete Rose.
Really cool video man, I remember, jose Days like it was yesterday and I remember when the red sox, my red sox got him I was a very excited little kid, then I got the pleasure to see him play live a few times the guy was a Beast we all knew he was on something. It's sad, though that he decided to be a whistleblower to make money after and call out all the other players like that was gonna give him good merits with mlb All it did was let everyone know he was a rat, and everyone else was a rat. We already knew they were juiced up. Especially big Mac. It does not take a dummy to know that that was steroid era Of baseball, honestly, I think every player was taken steroids back then. Even the ones that are in the hall of fame right now and that's the sad truth about it, but absolutely he should not be allowed in the hall of fame. All of his home runs should be taken away every accomplishment. Championship, all should be taken from him. This is the same league that bans him, but will not allow shoeless. Joe Jackson, one of the greatest baseball players to ever play that did not even know how to sign his name without being embarrassed. Put in X on the paper hit over 400 In the world series did not have one field error However, he put that x on the paper, so he's guilty. There's ones that should be allowed back in. There's ones that should be allowed to be put in the hall of shame. Jose always will be in the hall. Of shame great video man
Jose Canseco was a great player who won the MVP in 1998
Had several other All-Star level seasons and had a great career
I'll remember him as a stud who had his production reduced by back injury (not unlike Don Mattingly)
Every single UA-camr thinks you just take steroids and becoming a beast at sports .
“It’s no wonder why he was a beast”
Like you can be juiced to the gills and still not come close to hitting a 95 mph fastball or a 12-6 curve .
An interesting thing is his identical twin brother Ozzie also used roids but never hit an MLB home run.
back in the 80s my prize possesion was an jose canseco baseball card that cost me 20.00 .. i still have it somewhere , wonder if it went up or down in price
Dude was my favorite player. Guaranteed HR in bottom of the 9th on n64
As a rangers fan we will always remember the ball bouncing off his head and over the outfield fence
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
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.
good vidfeo i liked it
we’re all waiting on your next vidfeo
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."
Canseco was my favorite player growing up in the late 80s early 90s. Steroids was the moral panic of the 90s. cheating? no. Like, they decided something was illegal and banned AFTER everybody did it. that would be like making porn illegal now but going back and punishing everybody that watched it.
Should do an Alfonso Soriano video
He also once help "hit" a home run for the opposing team by somehow making the ball bounce off his head. Think about this for a second, all the thousands of balls flied out near the wall nearly a home run, so many gloves put in the air, the one and only time a ball bounces on a player's head and goes over the wall for a home run, it just so happens to be Jose Canseco. The craziness of JC just never ends.
Yeah it's in the video
He was far from the first guy to use steroids in baseball.
The guy hit almost 500 home runs in the major leagues. How many people that ever lived can say that?? Maybe 25 cmon...guys a beast
This guy was called a snitch because MLB blackballed for making his steroid use because he made it open to the public. He called out the famous players using roids in order to get back at MLB. I tell ya a story.
In Miami on Bird Rd at a gym called Spinellis back in the 80's my friend who was a member at the gym said, he saw Canseco outside of his Lambo shooting up a gym bud. He didn't give a f**k. Nor does steroid use guarantee you to be a MLB star. Twin brother Ozzie hit a homer first at bat and went 1 for 36 and MLB cut his ass and he never saw the big leagues again. Canseco is a LEGEND. If he wouldn't have gotten injured he'd hit over 700 homers easy. The name will forever be tied to fastest bat speed ever on a 36 ounce bat, massive homers, and a great ball player.
steroids in high school is crazy
It's very common, especially in the higher divisions.
High school football locker rooms is where steroids are most common. Lol especially in the big high school football programs
Ocarina of time music in the background is tripping me out lol
They have his swing in 2K. So he has to be doing kinda well 😅😅😅
I remember watching him as a rookie and just wow. He was exciting to watch. But yeah.... things def got bad with him sadly.
Props to Jose for exposing MLB on it’s steroid use.
He was dead on with his accusations.
His books were very enjoyable reads.
He also explains some of these controversies from his perspective, like beating up the bouncers who got what they deserved ( if they indeed did what he described ), or the public incident with Jess Canseco.
True or not, they are interesting perspectives.
I'm Jose Canseco! I'm Jose Canseco!! I'm Jose Cansecooooo!!!!!
Gawd I love that movie!
It’s crazy a guy his height and speed he needed roids to hit homer’s.
I was a fan during his bash brother days in Oakland. Incredible bat speed. How the hell can anyone strikeout 180 times in a season and still bat .300? That was Jose. But when he said that the HOF black balled him, after that he turn into a snitch. Does this guy have any MLB friends? This dude was PROUD taking roids. Just read his book. He said that Ben Grieve never took them, but steroids could of helped his career, said Jose. Good for Ben Grieve. Only MLB that didn't cheat on his wife was Roger Clemens ( now divorced how ironic ). So was Jose hiding under the bed to confirm this? Honestly, what a joke. I'm not a fan anymore. I thought he will be respectable, following the old rule what goes on in the clubhouse, stays in the clubhouse. But he didn't. There is no honor in his game.
He and barry bonds both claimed that MLB blackballed them because they werent signed into their late 30s/40s respectively. Neither were shy about their use of steroids, id imagine barry's were psychoactively better because his contact tool and eye increased with his power as well.
@@antonioreconquistador"neither of them were shy about their steroid use" Jose canseco was always open about steroids but barry was definitely never open about it
Who tries to fight a 6’4” 270lb dude let alone 2 of them?
I like turtles
Hating A-Rod is completely reasonable. The rest of it is pure insanity
i met his brother ozzie when i worked at a mechanic shop, he was an ass lol
He didn’t introduce steroids to baseball , where did you get that nonsense
Idgaf….that swing is nasty….All power, violent, super fast. The exact opposite of Marks. He was a blast to watch.
Personally, I think Jose had enough skills that he didn't have to take steroids....
9:05 so what I’m hearing is that Trevor Bauer is just the pitching Jose Canseco
Bauer innocent
Steroids were legal with no legal issues of use or possession prior to 1988, in 1990 they were scheduled; in 1991 the mlb put a rule on paper with no testing or penalties. It wasn't until after his career that testing and penalty was added, probably because of his book. I think all the markets with no MLB team should start a steroid league team.
Funny thing about Mexican league baseball, you can buy steroids over the counter at a farmacia there; but steroids are not allowed in Mexican baseball. He wasn't even allowed his TRT which is needed to live a normal life when not making your own naturally.
Bad Karma.? How many remember He hit a Grand Slam in game 1 of the 88 World Series. Unfortunately, it's the Kirk Gibson Game..!!! Love it...!!
Gonads vs. Roids.
Juiced or not, i dont know how he was able to make that footwork at the plate generate anything
Janitors can play high school ball?
Haha
Why did Canseco run away from Police at such high speeds on the highway?
Big Papi used steroids and still got in the HOF
A Jose Canseco bat? Tell me you didnt pay money for this.
Mr. 40-40
I use to be a strict anti steroids guy. Since i was a kid but now i say even with steroid very few can do 30/30 or 40/40
Jose Canseco is a real life GTA character
Canseco was awesome to watch early on
Should be in HOF just for being on the Simpsons
