I am and will always be just simply a basball [sic] player, my tomb stone will just say. Baseball.
I get criticized for anything I do.
The national pastime is juiced,
Time travel is possible. Will explain later
The truth is, no one wants to face the fact that there was a huge double standard in baseball, and white athletes like Mark McGwire, Cal Ripken Jr., and Brady Anderson were protected and coddled in a way that an outspoken Latino like me never would be. The light-eyed and white-skinned were declared household names. Canseco the Cuban was left out in the cold, where racism and double standards rule.
All I have is the truth, and I've proven that.
Steroids, used correctly, will not only make you stronger and sexier, they will also make you healthier,
I don't think I've lost a beat at all. Because of my physique and my look...I fit in the natural action-hero role.
I think baseball owes McGwire a gratitude of thanks for putting baseball back on the map where it should be.
I had already developed inherited back problems. I had degenerative disk disease, a form of scoliosis, arthritis. And I truly believe that if it weren't for the use of steroids - I'm not saying steroids is for everyone, but in my case in general, if I have not used steroids, I mean, physically right now I'd probably be a wreck.
I think you want to try every sport possible just to experience life.
Owners, the way they blackballed me from baseball, the way they used me, in a sense, and then the way they wanted to send a signal to the other players, saying, you know, we're going to get Jose Canseco out of the game. This is a cue or a message for you other guys to stop using steroids because the owners lost total control of the steroid use.
I'm just basically telling a story of my life.
I'm tired of justifying what I've said.
