 unbelieveable at first Mar 31, 2008
By Michael R. Chernick
"statman31147"
I read this book when it first came out and I am glad I did not review it then. Like many others I was skeptical about what Canseco was saying. I just couldn't believe that all the famous athletes that he named took steriods or HGH. The idea that he personal injected many of them seemed ludicrous. The media put it down as a bunch of lies to sell books. Canseco also had his ups and downs and did not have a great reputation in baseball. After the hearings things looked even worse. But what came out in the long run was that everything he said became highly plausible or confirmed by drug testing or further investigation. This book is now a landmark book in the history of major league baseball. The only thing I disagree with Canseco on in this book is the idea that taking steroids was good for the game of baseball even though it led to more home runs and excitement for the fans. At least in his new book based on the accumulated medical evidence he has changed his tune. No one can deny that this was one of the major books to blow the lid on the use of steriods in baseball.
I believe that Canseco wrote this book for the noteriety and the money and that his selective choice of names to name was deliberate to sensationalize the book and sell copies. He now freely admits to naming people to make the book marketable in his new book vindicated. Also I think the book was intended to provide a rationalization for his own use of steroid and for turning so many others onto it. But the Mitchell report and other investigations has confirmed that those named were really users!

Deluded? Truthful? Sad? Fascinating? Yes... Feb 15, 2005
By Robert Wellen
This, unlike, say, Pete Rose's book last year, is one book I had to read as soon as it came out. Simply written (no co-author is noted, but he must not have been very good), the book flies by. Of course, the media has leaked much of the good stuff already. As with any memoir (again, a stretch to use that word), truth is often muddled. Here it is worse. Did baseball really blackball Jose? Did Roger Clemens use steroids? Dave Martinez (that was funny--he was so mediocore)? Jose is clearly bitter for the way he was treated over the years. I can't possibly understand what it was like for a Latino ballplayer in the mid-80s. When he describes the racism involved in the game, much of it rings true. His bittnerness toward Cal Ripken (I'm assuming details were left out to avoid libel suits--common throughout the book) seems more mysterious. He is right that media (and the umps) play favorites sometimes. There is no question he is right about certain players and their steriod use. His digs at Mark McGwire are not cheap shots (pun intended). Mac was never the nice guy that we often heard about. He was surly, angry, and quite possibly a fraud. Same with Sammy "The Diva" Sosa. Each of these guys did a ton of stuff for charity. So did Canseco (which, immodestly, he points out)...but who knew that about Canseco? Not me.
Where he runs into trouble, at least for this reader, is his insistence on how good steroids are. The only steroids I ever took were for an infection and hope I never have to take them again. They can be great (look at how they saved Jerry Lewis--and how puffy he got) as medicine perhaps. But, his insistence on their goodness is a bit scary. Still, the man is a true believer. I just hope kids don't read this as the gospel. And the fact is, Canseco, Mac, etc, all cheated. He doesn't seem to care. Then again, I think the service he is doing to baseball is far more important. His book won't let the Barry Bonds' of the world keep fooling us.
Canseco also brushes over his marriages and the vast majority of his playing career (this is not a book that talks about the game between the lines). He claims to be unfairly persecuted by the Florida DA...the truth? Who knows? He claims to have had a nervous breakdown, but doesn't back it up. Who knows?
Finally, I think what might stay with me (besides the steroid stories) are the geniune moments. His hilariously overblown "affair" with Madonna. His near-suicide is poignant. I have no doubt he loves his daughter deeply. His pain over his break up with his second wife (everyone feels this kind of pain, even stars). The saddest part is the that deep inside his massive body, he is still a little hurting boy. He is very cautious about how he describes his father, but reading between the lines, we see a sad little boy and sad man. His father was incredibly tough on him. His mother died when he was barely out of his teens and she was his protector. Much of his career and incidents can be seen as a man looking for his fathers protection (his constant mentions of his insecurity) and the love of his mother (which he so sadly lost when she passed away). He has made some bad choices, but, in the end, he needs so much attention, because he never got it from the most important man in his life. All very sad. I think this book will serve an important purpose for our nation's past time and maybe help Canseco grow...maybe.

 Steroids in Baseball Feb 14, 2005
By Former Baseball Fan
Halfway through reading Jose Canseco's new book "Juiced", it occurred to me that my opinion of this man was changing with every page I turned. I went into this book thinking that this was a man simply out to make a buck at the expense of others. What I've learned is that this book isn't about Jose Canseco or any of the many run-in's with the law that tarnished the amazing persona he gave of in his hey-day. This book is about a story that no one in Major League Baseball wants told......This book is about the TRUTH. We've all heard the rumors from reporters about how steroids have been killing baseball for years......now hear the story from a man who knows what he's talking about from being there in the trenches. This is no different than what Jim Bouton went through in the 1970's with his book "Ball Four". It took until 1988 to invite Bouton back to Yankee Stadium. Canseco is being treated like a social leper, just like Bouton was. I hope it won't take 18 years for the world's eyes to be opened and focused on what Canseco is saying here. He may very well be the key to returning baseball as America's Pastime.

Let The Discussions Begin Feb 16, 2005
By Norfeest
"Yes Yes Y'all"
Jose Canseco released this book with intentions of doing two things: turning a huge profit and shedding some light on the role steriods play in major league baseball. Will he accomplish both? As much as some would hate to admit it, yes he will.
The book starts with Canseco's childhood and leads to the current landscape of baseball. There are all kinds of allegations made against some notable players:
Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire, Brady Anderson, Juan Gonzalez, Ivan Rodriguez, Miguel Tejada, Dave Martinez, Tony Saunders, Bret Boone, and Wilson Alvarez
Honestly, I believe him to a certain extent. You have to take it all with a grain of salt because we're talking about Jose Canseco. To put it in mild terms, his credibility is completely shot. But we all know that steroid use is running wild in Major League Baseball. I think some of the facts have been overblown in order to make for a more captivating read, but those with any kind of common sense will quickly pick up on it when it happens. I also didn't agree with his endorsement of steroid use; that is most definitely a bad signal to send to the kids that will read this book. Canseco even goes as far as to suggest that it would be harder to find an elite player who hasn't used steroids than it would be to find one who has. My point: All it takes is a long hard look at the facts.
One of the facts is that numbers don't lie. I'm a huge Orioles fan and even I have to admit that Brady Anderson (who was implicated by Canseco) was RIPPED when he hit 50 home runs for the Orioles in 1996 (his previous best, 21...his best since '96, 24). He had never been that size before in his ENTIRE career and he hasn't been that big ever since. I don't know if he decided to quit using or what, I just know the guy had put on an alarming amount of bulk since the previous season.
Will all the questions get answered? Probably not. Will speculation ever cease? Not any time soon. Did the players accused actually juice up? Probably. Is Canseco exaggerating the facts? To an extent, I believe he is, but there's a strain of truth to his accusations that is VERY hard to disregard. Is the new policy tough enough (4 violations = 1 year ban)? Not even close. Will we ever know the entire truth? Definitely not. MLB stands to lose a significant amount of revenue if we do learn the whole truth. I know one thing though, reading this book will either confirm or completely change your perception of Jose Canseco AND Major League Baseball. No matter what your opinion of him is, you'll have a new and broader perspective of the entire steroid soap opera after reading this book. Some of this stuff you just can't make up, but you don't need a book to tell you what your eyes have already seen. The fact is some of your favorite baseball players have put on alarming amounts of muscle in very short amounts of time and that cannot be blamed on Jose Canseco's monetary lust. I reccomend drawing your own conclusion based on facts and nothing more. I highly reccomend this book though.

 Jose Can Shoot Drugs. Jul 04, 2005
By Bernard Chapin
"Ora Et Labora!"
Any sports fan who lived through the late eighties and early nineties remembers the unworldly talent fielded by the Oakland A's. They seemed to be the favorite every year, but, regardless of reputation, the team managed to let their fans down all but once. Perhaps no individual symbolized the team's mix of flair and underachievement better than their Right Fielder, Jose Canseco. He was a showy combination of size, speed, strength, and possessed the looks of a muscle-headed matinee idol, but, as a player, he was often the butt of jokes. He was nicknamed "Jose Can-strikeout," and the image of an outfield fly bouncing off his head before leaving the ball park is not something that most of us will ever forget.
They'll be no Hall of Fame for Jose Canseco as his career peaked at age 24 with his winning the American League's MVP Award. This year, perhaps in the hopes of keeping his name alive, he released Juiced : Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big. The book is combination of autobiography, baseball analysis, advocacy paper for the widespread use of steroids (seriously), and a dedicated attempt by one individual to blame every negative life event on racist America-a racist America that made him unbelievably rich.
The reason that most people buy a book like this is to troll through celebrity dirt. Well, certainly, there is some of that here. Canseco documents personally administering and injecting steroids to Mark McGwire, Raphael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez, and Ivan Rodriguez. Speculation is offered concerning the possible usage of Brady Anderson, Sammy Sosa, and Bret Boone. Perhaps the only section of the book which will be of interest to the Entertainment Tonight types is his description of his relations with Madonna. This is the only humorous tale told, and our laughter is mostly directed at him.
What is most annoying about this book is that Jose regards himself to be Joe Latino. He sees himself as just another victim regardless of his opulence. Time after time he states that he never thought he'd make it because America was too racist to accept Cubans as big league players but then he belies his position by noting that Tony Perez and Luis Tiant played in the show well into their forties. More likely, his apprehensions about being a pro can be attributed to his tremendous insecurities and feelings of inferiority. His father publicly humiliated from little league on by yelling at him in public whenever he made a mistake.
Our steroid enthusiast regards guys like Cal Ripken and Mark McGwire as being bullet proof because they are white. Due to his Cuban background, everyone supposedly wanted him to fail in the bigs...except of course for the police who, after pulling him over going 202 mph in his Lamborghini Diablo, said, "Don't worry, Mr. Canseco, we're not going to arrest you. We just wanted to see the inside of your car." Despite my light skin, if I were going 90 in my Kia, and resisted arrest, I sincerely doubt the troopers would be quite that understanding. It's rants and whines like these that make one suddenly long to put down the book. How can you relate to a guy resentful about our nation after he tells us in the same chapter that he now lives simply by only owning a Bentley, a Porsche, and a Lamborghini?
The real constant in this book is Canseco's narcissism and inability to be grateful for the blessed lifestyle he has been given. In the end, all the cars and the women are not enough for Jose. It seems that the fans let him down. He had only one simple demand and we did not meet it. The public failed to describe him with the words, "Jose Canseco, the All-American boy. Jose, the national icon."
Really, now, don't laugh. I mean he has a valid point. Just last week I had to complain to the manager at the local grocery store that a couple of his clerks failed to greet me on the way in with, "Hello, Mr. National Icon." Such behavior cannot be tolerated. The next thing you know those produce guys are going to want the right to vote. Just imagine what Canseco's reaction would be when if he found out that the local growth hormone dealer had been incarcerated. Then he'll really unleash the conspiracy theories.
Being Jose Canseco would make for some very easy running over the bases of life, but, after 285 pages with this guy, you'll be grateful to be yourself.
