Not So Deep Thoughts: Jose Can You Just Go Away?
Posted by
Tuff Stuff
I was checking out some memorabilia prices on eBay recently when one
particular item jumped out at me: a ball signed by "Mr I'll throw anybody under the bus for a quick buck" Canseco.
The baseball was inscribed "The Grandfather of Steroids, Jose Canseco" and sold for $100. Following up on Pete Rose's "I bet on baseball" inscription from a couple years ago, Canseco proves once again that two wrongs definitely don't make a right. You would think that the world-renowned author and reality TV star would have plenty left in the bank but apparently plastic surgery and a posse of bodyguards to keep all his disgruntled ex-teammates away from him are more expensive than I realized.
Sure, it's a free country and if people are dumb enough to buy it, why not? Well, for one, it's yet another black eye for a hobby that is starting to resemble Rocky Balboa prior to Mickey going to the razor in the original Rocky, and because it makes light of a serious subject and allows a scumbag like Canseco to prosper from it in the process.
If you have an extra $100 you're looking to throw away on a bad investment why not purchase some GM stock instead? At least that way you have a small chance to get a return on your investment someday.

I DO GOT A COMMENT ON THIS ONE ! HOW DO WE KNOW STEROIDS WASN'T BEING USED BACK THEN (early days)?? WE DON'T RIGHT JUST ASSUME IT WASN'T UNTIL ONE BIG NAME WAS CAUGHT ! HAS ANYBODY EVER CHECK IT OUT ? OR IS IT PROVEN THAT STEROIDS WASN'T AROUND ?? I PERSONALLY DON'T KNOW ? BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY IS LOWERING EVERYBODY THAT HAS USED BUT A-ROD IS IT BECAUSE HE IS A YANKEE IS THAT THE REASON IT'S OK NOW ?? OR IS IT ALL ABOUT THAT MIGHTY DOLLAR NOW DAYS (back then the money didn't matter, it was just too play the sport) or TOO GIVE THE NEWS PEOPLE SOMETHING TOO TALK ABOUT SO THEY (NEWS PEOPLE) GET THAT MIGHTY DOLLAR ? I THINK IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO'S DOING IT AND WHO'S NOT SO THEY HAVE SOMETHING TOO TALK ABOUT IN THE PAPERS & NEWS !! ARE YOU SURE WALTER JOHNSON or THE BABE or EVEN THE GREAT MICK DIDN'T USE ?? I KNOW ITS THE PAST WELL IT'S ALL GOING TOO BE IN THE PAST SOMEDAY SO HOPEFULLY THEY FIND SOMETHING ELSE TOO TALK ABOUT INSTEAD THAT !? HOW ABOUT THESE PEOPLE (STARS) DOING OTHER DRUGS THAT GET AWAY WITH IT WITH A SLAP ON THE HANDS & STILL GO TOO THE HALL !!! JUST BECAUSE THEY USE DON'T MEAN THAT THEY WERE NOT A GOOD PLAYER or A HALL OF FAMER ? THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL MY OPINION ON ALL THIS !! thanks ERIC CARLSON

Jose Canseco is making a mockery of baseball , when he played and still today!Is it spite or jealousy that drives this man? Or maybe its a simple equation of economics.. he blew all his money on wine, women and song and he will do anything to get more money!
Maybe the Selig Mafia should be put in charge!

You may not like the way he is going about it, but he is the ONLY one that has come out on his own and told the truth from the beginning he said he did it he said teammates were doing it and a few years later look at who is the one telling the truth CANSECO!!!!!
