  • In this VladTV exclusive, two-time World Series champion and former MVP Jose Canseco sat down for an interview detailing his life and career. The retired baseball player revealed that he wasn't a standout high school player and received no college offers, prompting him to join the minor leagues for a $10,000 signing bonus. After struggling his first few years in the minors, the turning point came when he started using performing-enhancing drugs after promising his mom on her deathbed that he'd become the best player in the world.
    After becoming the minor league's Player of the Year, he described winning the Rookie of the Year and American League MVP as a member of the Oakland Athletics. While describing his three consecutive World Series appearances, he also cleared the air on his multiple legal incidents as well as his interactions with Madonna and Alex Rodriguez. He also explained how two multimillion divorces and bad investments left him broke after signing the biggest contract in MLB history at the time. Canseco also talked about being blackballed from baseball after exposing MLB's PED crisis in his book, "Juiced." To hear more, view the full interview above.

    I wrote a letter to Jose in 1989 with a baseball card in it. He signed it and sent it back. Canseco was my favorite player at the time. It really meant alot to me. Thank you Jose.

      Kinda thought it was shifty what he did with the steroid telling thing, but I am glad I read this. Sometimes it's easy to judge celebrities, but they are just people like me who become superstars and rich as a kid. I forget to look at my self and realize what kind of a dick I would of been if I was in that situation. It's nice I haven't really liked him for a whe and reading this I realize that and totally do again. It's dumb but cool

    I met Jose playing pick up water volleyball games at a hotel in Hawaii, back in the early 90s. He had recently been chosen MVP. I think he was with his first wife. He made it fun, while playing to win just as he did in baseball. I was on his team and he was encouraging and funny, and made you feel like you were a real part of a team. He was never an elitist. He was real. Jose, you are the best. Thank you for being you.

      I'm a major reader. I study health, and for one, I always want to do what's good for me and my human body, both short term and long term. One of the studies has been that of anabolic steroids. " They are bad for you, ...and they will kill you!" I'm 72 years old now. Some super famous bodybuilders and actors have taken lots of steroids, or pde's, whatever we want to call them. The idea is to take ANYTHING that you put into your human body as a MED. As in a Minimum EFfective Dose, and not 10x as much, not 50x as much, but not twice as much either! THAT is what goes Against your body, your health, and your life.

      That is nice to hear because my brother and I went to get his autograph in 96 when he was with the Red Sox. That day there were mostly young kids with their Dads. I was so disappointed. He never looked up, never said hello, or smiled at the kids, just kept signing. I was shocked. I took it as arrogance and really turned me off. Now, to hear him say he was shy and quiet is hard to believe, but he does seem different. More personable. Glad to hear nice things about him. He seems very humble now.

      When I lived and worked near Miami back in the day, all of the Cuban guys used to tell me what an arrogant a-hole he was. Said he would pull up in his fancy car or boat, and had no problem trying to take their girlfriend or even wife away. Said he would run his mouth and start fights in clubs then have his bodyguards handle it. I get it that, to have all of the money and fame thrown at you when you’re young, it can go to your head. But it’s just sad to see these former players who had all of that money, have to pimp themselves out to do stupid “celebrity boxing “ or whatever, just to make ends meet now.

    A very honest interview. Refreshingly candid. Most people are worried they will look cool but not Jose Canseco.

    Crazy how the media portrays one player like they're a Saint and another like a villain.. then we find out its actually the reverse..
    Thanks for this 🙌🏾

    I have a deep respect for Jose Canseco. He was one of the few ball players, the very few, who told the truth about drug use in baseball. All the rest of those lying ball players can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.
