Add to basketJuiced by Jose Canseco. Published by Regan Books/Harper, New York, NY, 2005. 1st Stated Edition 2nd Printing. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in Good DJ. 290 Pgs. ISBN 0060746408. In this controversial baseball memoir, Jose Canseco, who is now retired, makes serious charges while bringing to light the long-suppressed scandal of widespread steroid use in baseball. Canseco is remembered as 1988's American League MVP, and for his association with the Oakland Athletics. Canseco begins with his father's flight from Castro's Cuba, and goes on to write about his own career climb, his failed marriages, and his love for his daughter, whom he credits with rescuing him from a near-suicide attempt. He provides anecdotes about the rock-star antics of players on the road, as well as his own experiences of racism in the sport. Umpires get a whole chapter, and it is not favorable. The title JUICED refers to both the fast-paced lifestyle that he engaged in as well as the secret substance that helped Canseco and others become a new breed of performance-enhanced super-players who set new records. Canseco makes serious allegations against players who are still active, including Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Jason Giambi. He claims that owners and officials knew about the widespread use of steroids, but were pleased that tickets were sold and seats were filled, and he even endorses the use of steroids if they are properly administered. The revelations and general tone of this book may explain why baseball is no longer the national pastime. Like the classic BALL FOUR, JUICED is a headline-making insider's tale, and only the future will tell if asterisks will be added to the record books next to some players' names.
