Title: Jose Canseco Broke After $55 Million Career
Post by: Palumboism on June 24, 2025, 01:46:07 PM
Jose Canseco is famous for writing the book Juiced, which was a big deal at the time.  It seems like he got blackballed before he wrote the book and that's why he wrote it.  Says 85 percent of MLB was on steroids and that he injected the four famous names he mentioned in the book. 

At his lowest, he was living in a garage for six months. 

Interesting interview.  The book starts at 1:03:00.

How can you lose $55M and not have any assets or equity to cash out on?

Rappers are exempt from this because they are expected to be stupid.

So you’re saying I shouldn’t have just promoted Canseco as the money manager of the Fouad Abiad GofundMe?

Not the best choice

Iron Mike Tyson would be a better choice, or Xzibit, Lawrence Taylor, Antoine Walker

He was the spokesman for Steroid.com for a long time. I was wondered if he had a stake in it.

By 1990 he was the highest paid player in MLB

Both Canseco and Bonds are same age, despite Jose missing almost entire 1989 season and many injuries season after season he did reach 400 HRs before Bonds did ....

However, Jose didn't reach 500 HRs while Bonds ended up breaking the all-time record with more than 700!  I can understand to a certain degree Jose's frustration being blackballed from MLB by age 36.




WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh  facts for you bitches

When he was playing I remember him chasing his wife in her sports car with his sports car.

did he get a piece of pie 🥧 out of it? I remember and this is for Vince reading somewhere. I think it was his wife. I think it might’ve been in Playboy saying he was about four times the size of Mark Dugdale, and his wife combined.

Canseco just said that both bodybuilders and fitness influencers are famous for their steroids use but they have no talent whatsoever.....  the eye-hand coordination talent you need to have to make it in MLB  can't be injected.

Btw today is his 61 BDay


Happy Biirthday JOseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

He may be right, but it may just be coping too, minimizing what drugs do. Fighters and athletes always say how little drugs do but they sure cry like babies when their competition uses them. It's soo unfair  :'(

I think it’s a little bit of strength or “pop” but I would assume in the case of baseball it’s recovery is the biggest advantage.

That's a huge advantage because the baseball season is a grind.
