	José Canseco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canseco continued to be productive, but after 1991 when he hit 44 homeruns his career hit a plateau, never accomplishing what many expected he was capable of in the face of frequent injuries and controversy.
		That same season, Canseco suffered further indignity and ridicule when he asked to pitch during a runaway loss; he injured his arm, underwent Tommy John surgery, and was lost for the remainder of the season.
		Canseco also claimed that up to 85% of major league players took steroids, a figure disputed by many in the game but which approximated the estimate given by former player and admitted steroid user Ken Caminiti, who had died in 2004.

		Canseco was a baseball giant in size, potential, and gossip, and became the first member of the 40-40 club when he was a mere 23 years old, winning the MVP award that year in a landslide.
		In August 1992 Canseco was in the middle of a subpar (by his standards) year; with just 22 homers, he seemed apathetic on the field and in the clubhouse.
		Canseco was limited to a platoon DH role, one that he despised, and though he received a warm reception at his former battleground, he was on the Anaheim Angels the following spring.

	An Argument for José: Why José Canseco Should Get Serious Consideration for the Hall of Fame
		Canseco can launch baseballs into regions of the stadium where fans never expect to catch a souvenir, and many of his blasts are legendary.

		Jose Canseco, variously called "The Bad Boy of Baseball," or "The Godfather of Steroids," has written a much-talked-about book he calls "Juiced” that purports to tell the truth about his own use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormones, and the same about other top players in Major League Baseball.
		Canseco writes about his 16-year career as a Major League ball player, and he says that from his first season, to his last in 2001, he used illegal anabolic steroids and human growth hormones.
		Canseco's alleged character flaws are many — including greed, which is evidenced by the fact that he charged his fans $2,500 a day to spend time with him at his home when he was under house arrest for parole violation.

	The Juice and I - Jose Canseco and steroids, a love story. By Bryan Curtis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Canseco claims that while he was playing for the Oakland A's in the late 1980s, he and teammate Mark McGwire would lock themselves in a bathroom stall and inject each other with steroids.
		Canseco was 6 feet 4 inches and weighed in the neighborhood of 250 pounds; McGwire was 6 feet 5 inches and adding beef like an Arby's franchise—for the two of them to squeeze into a men's room stall must have presented something of a geometric challenge.
		Canseco, who was born in Cuba, was a rarity in 1988: a Latin baseball superstar.
