I will shamelessly admit that I bought and read the book hoping for some good locker room dirt and the book certainly delivers some pretty good scoop.What I got out of the book:Jose Canseco considers himself a victim of discrimination and "celebrity". He has a grudge against MLB and he takes it out squarely on Mark McGwire - MLB's golden boy during the Canseco era.Canseco defends his steroid use and is proud to be the go-to-guy for other players on how to use them, combine them, and inject them.He names names and tells their story. One name he mentions as a steroid user absolutely broke my heart. He mentions Clemens in the book too and for some reason I think there's a deeper story there. I hope it comes to light once Clemens own saga with Steroids is resolved.I'm glad I read the book. I gave it three stars because its a light read and I didn't wish for the 4 hours back that I spent reading it.
Jose Canseco is a controversial figure, this much we know is true; everything else is kind of unclear.Professional athletes looking for an edge - an illegal edge - is as old as professional sports, but things took a terrible turn in the late 1980's when a young Cuban immigrant named Jose Canseco broke into the big leagues with the Oakland A's.After a turbulent career, things only got stranger for the proclaimed godfather of steroids. So in his book Juiced, Canseco lays outs his life, his career, and his role in introducing baseball to infamous world of steroids. I honestly tried to sympathize with Canseco's situation, but in the end I still found Canseco to be an egotistical, has been looking for honor and glory.Canseco credits himself as the savior of baseball and revolutionary who will one day be honored when professional sports accept steroids. Though I can understand his "savior" of baseball argument considering the 1994 MLB strike and the 1998 home run chase, I cannot comprehend the declaration that steroids will one day be as customary as ice packs and sunflower seeds. Perhaps I am a little too present-minded and traditional to see professional sports encouraging steroids.While reading Juiced, I got confused on whom the real Jose Canseco is. At one moment he talks about baseball as if it is just a means to an end, then a few chapters later he treats the sport as if it is a religion. He credits steroids for making him a great athlete, but later explains that he is the talent and that steroids only supplemented his abilities. He considers himself a steroids expert but never once does he considered the idea that his use of performance enhancing drugs may have multiplied his trips to the disabled list.As much as he tries to fool you, Canseco did not know what he was doing. For a steroid enhanced athlete, he had a few fantastic seasons but a forgettable career. If it was not for the steroid controversy the name Jose Canseco would have lost to long list of notable rookies with lackluster careers.Though my feelings for Canseco may be sour, I did find the book interesting as a time capsule. When you read it today in the post-steroid era, you really do see how much the owners, the union, and the fans all turned a very, very blind eye to the issues. Everyone is to blame for the steroid era, yet only the players get the guilty verdict.
"Juiced" is the story of Jose Canseco's no holds barred account of his years in MLB. Told in a conversational and informative way he weaves an accurate and telling account of his personal use of steroids, his experiences as an émigré from Castro's Cuba and how a promise to his Mother on her deathbed led a young Jose to become one of the most controversial and exciting figures in America's favorite pastime, Major League Baseball!I hadn't expected this type of book from Jose Canseco! I thought I'd be reading about the Jose the media choked us with for so many years. The egotistical bad boy that everyone loved to hate but had to watch in spite of it all. What interested me was the scoop on steroids but I wasn't certain I could get through a book which had Senor Rooster preening himself in every other sentence! What a shock I had as I began to turn the pages.This is no ordinary jock who is cocky and self-assured. This is a man who knew exactly what he was doing every moment he was doing it and with tremendous results. He was far from self-assured as he was growing up and throughout his years in the game. He educated himself about the different types of steroids and HGH, how they interacted with one another, how the body & liver processes these dangerous chemicals and came up with a regimen that suited his body and its functions to the proverbial "T" and more. He shared his knowledge with other players allowing them the same advantages he was experiencing and always cautioned them to use these enhancers responsibly.He named names of players he absolutely had first hand knowledge of using these chemicals. He knew because he injected them himself and those he wasn't certain of ever taking them, he mentioned only in passing as those he had spoken to about the chemicals. Mark McGwire had the lions share of references in the book since they were teammates on the Oakland A's and Jose used to inject him. Without giving too much away at this point, he does mention those players who went overboard on usage and gives a straightforward look into what steroids have done and can do for baseball and all sports.The revelation of this book is that I felt I understand Jose Canseco and why he did what he did. I came through to the last pages and knew I liked this man and no longer blamed him for what he knew in his heart and mind was right to do for himself. I applaud his honesty about himself, his decisions and overt head in the sand attitude by the entire MLB organization from the Commissioner's, team owners, managers, players and the way down to the bottom rung of the staffs. All in all, a fascinating expose.Juiced : Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big
