@MANCHESTER UNITED it is popular not because it is great, but because it is cheap to play. most other sports you need some kind of equipment to play but in soccer, all you need is a ball
Once Canseco is in the stadium all I can see is that people loves him and corporation hates him. The same that happens in sports it happens in economy, politics, technology, History, religion, etc. They decide what's the path to choose. Make a movie Mr. Canseco and expose them. The players association looks terrible. People makes mistakes that's not a reason to condemn them. We went to Irak and killed children,women, entire society because "a proof of mass destruction weapon" that at the end was a lie. Weak up people!
I was born, raised n still live in Pittsburgh. It was hard watching what happened to Barry Bonds. I liked Jose as player and person... Barry not so much as a person. I graduated at same HS as Joe Montana, liked player not the person.
The entire league was on steroids, the MLB was resurrected because of steroids and was a financial success because of these guys. Yet today they get on their high horse and throw these guys who were instrumental in mlb’s success under the bus.

Canseco is the reason I started juicing and it helped me in my career tremendously. Ty Jose....
You know, at the end of the day, the way Jose's daughter talks about her dad is the only thing that matters. Even without the fans, the cheers, and the millions of dollars, he must be doing SOMETHING right. I'm a great dad (if I do say so myself!), but I would have to be dead for my kids to speak so glowingly about me lol!
He didn't hide the truth, good or bad; that was his crime in the eyes of major league baseball. He should always be commended for his honesty. He has always been a hero of mine.
Canseco made Major League Baseball confront and deal with an inconvenient truth regarding steroid use, and once the genie was out of the bottle, it could never go back in. He could've kept quiet, denied all accusations...and he' be in the HoF by now. MLB should be ashamed at the way they have ostracised him from the game.
@@TheBatugan77 Really? Even though they have failed to 'clean up' the game over a decade after 'Juiced', and yet continue to cast Canseco as baseball's pariah? I really think they should be ashamed.
@MANCHESTER UNITED I've seen your comment on numerous pages. Wouldn't MMA now take the place of kicking a soccer ball with feet? Doesn't "fighting" mean more to us all?
Yeah, we know -- a near lifetime of bad deeds but he's "really a good guy at heart". This classic is such cliché, by now, that it's becoming harder and harder to parody in some original way. Still it causes me to wonder about how us folk that don't do but one / one thousandth of the shit this clown has done should be measured. How "really good a guy" then I must be "at heart"?
My favorite player as a kid growing up in Texas. I genuinely hope he knows how much he has meant to baseball fans like myself. He's clearly a good guy and he had a legendary baseball career. I really hope Jose finds happiness.
I've never stopped liking or caring for J. C. In my eyes he did what he had to to survive in Pro Baseball. Now look at the price he's paid. I think he's paid for it all 10 x's over. Support him or leave him be.
No wonder why people don't care that our new president cheated his way to the office, took money from China. Cheating seems to be okay these days. Hey Joe, would he have been the best player in the world without the steroids?
@@OneCupOfCoffee204 First of all, our president did not cheat his way to the office. Second, Jose wasn't the only one who took it. It's what pro athletes do.
@@joebudd6716 First of all our president is a senile old bastard whose son took millions from China while his father shut down any investigation by denying loans if the investigator wasn't fired. That's a real quid-pro-quo. Second of all, Really? He wasn't the only one? No shit Sherlock. And it's not what all pros do, only the ones who need to cheat.
Players still get caught using PEDs, all the time. At the start of Every season there are always at least three players that are suspended for the first 30 games for using. Only Alex Rodiguez and Jose Canseco got reamed in the ass by the brass of Major League Baseball.
@LaMostraVia: I found it very selfish from his part, too. I married someone with a 5 yrs old son, and my reasoning was that if I didn't care for her son, then I didn't care for her either. So I made sure I showed affection to him, even though he was not my biological son.
@The Truth Hurts with Jose Canseco why? To fuel the narcissistic rage of the antibiotic steroids he can't even love his daughter because it's not really his daughter his girlfriend screwed the milkman and the steroids really messed up his IQ he's in love with himself and he will always be that 11 12 year old kid wanting to play baseball and not to grow up to be a man and take responsibility into his own hands. Buying house was just playing stupidity something a Neanderthal would do. I don't and won't feel bad for him. I feel bad for the homeless and crippled people.
That's BS..... They took everything from Lance Armstrong and even took his business, his money, his trophies, and EVERY aspect of his career. So.......I guess from all this cheating is ok in baseball like McGuire, Sosa, and hey let's just put you all in the Hall of Fame for lieing and cheating. What great role models you are. Maybe how pathetic we are for allowing it.
billbo baggins that’s different. Peddling a bike with performance enhancers to outrace competitors vs hand eye co-ordination & a killer swing is completely different
Jose canseco was the reason I even got into sports as a 12-year old back in 1987! He was THE MAN all the kids in school wanted to have baseball cards of! He looked like a damn Greek god out there at the plate-YOU Jose are a great person and you were a great player! I look with more disdain at MLB and all the other players who wanted to make that $$$ while keeping you out of it and to me I respect you more. You will always be a great sports figure to me-watching you play was part of my best childhood memories and I would never change that!
Antibiotics steroids fueled the narcissistic range therefore he was in love and still in love with himself he can't really love a woman because he's in love with himself now what have we got here....
This is a documentary from 2008. In 2021 Jose bought a new house in Las Vegas for $1.1M, paid $700K up-front. He also owns Canseco’s Car Wash in Las Vegas. Additionally he makes roughly $100K a year in signing gigs and personal appearances.
Growing up in the Bay in the 80s and 90s, we were blessed. Canseco, Big Mac, Rickey, Stewart, Kevin Mitchell, Will the Thrill, Barry, Montana, Rife, Young, Lott, Run TMC. MAN.
hey jose i was there september 23 1988 in the bleachers with my mom when you stole the 40th base, that day i became an oakland a's fan also rooted for you and the oakland a's. awesome day. i still have the picture. this year i bought your yellow batting jersey at the coliseum and hung it on my room to remind me of that day. my mom died back in 2016 but the memory will never be forgotten.
The fact that his motive was revenge and money doesn't altar the fact that he told the truth, and the player's who called him a lair , Ivan Rodriguez and Clemens are the liars.
@@homerun8032 You would be angry too buddy when your peers sat quietly watching you be the scapegoat when they all know they’ve done just the same and deny under oath and let you go down alone.
I grew up in the east bay in the 80s, can't remember how many games we went to and watched him. Great memories! thanks Jose! I was one of the guys in the bleachers yelling our heads off for you!
I really hope he could find peace and happiness. My heart aches for this wonderful, but confused human being. I wish there was something I could do to help him :(
"Heart aches" ? You need to redirect your energies/sympathies. This dude is living it up, low testosterone or not, he's still banging chicks, still riding around on 10's of thousands of dollars worth of bikes, bedding down in mansions, etc. all while "being broke" and "owing 10's of millions". We should all be so "confused".
I grew up watching Canseco and all his greatness , never once imagining he be where he is now in life , it doesn’t seem real to see him as just another guy now, he was larger than life and gave a lot of us hope and desire to be great , idk the words I’m looking for , my heart breaks for him , I’ve never met him and yet I feel like if I could help him I would , I’ll always be a fan .
I too went through a divorce and I know every feeling he’s having, you do feel guilty and it feels wrong , you feel like you’ve let your child down and using someone else’s child as a crutch , it’s really hard. God bless you Jose, I’m praying for all the best to come your way
Jose Canseco SAVED the game of baseball by outing the STEROID/PED's in the game. He told the WHOLE TRUTH and wrote the Gospel of baseball - whoever he said did steroids did it. Thanks for bringing Honest performance back into the game of baseball because now they test for it. Jose Canseco revolutionized testing for baseball. THANKS JOSE CANSECO! Because of you many PHONIES can't stand in the HALL OF FAME next to the REAL HALL OF FAMERS who DIDN'T use steroids. Too bad some people don't see it this way. I believed JOSE CANSECO from the time his book came out, and had many debates and discussions defending his book against fools who called him a snitch and a liar. How can you say that if he played on these teams and knew so many other players. You have NOTHING to be ashamed of man, you told it like it is, nothing but TRUTH.
Hes really a more than truthful dude. I give him that. I've followed baseball since 1970 religiously and remember him so well back in the day. I never new who and what the actual Jose C was about. I've made so many very similar mistakes thats completely complicating my life in my late 50s. I feel for his situation
Canseco deserves forgiveness and at minimum should be a broadcaster. He's smart, funny, and entertaining. Nothing but love for the guy. Back then it was a different time. Wish him well. We've ALL made mistakes and we all deserve forgiveness, especially if genuinely sorry about the situation, and he Is. I hope Major Leauge Baseball welcomes him back one day. 🙏
this guy is as genuine as they come . Many guys will keep their secrets to themselves but i truly believe him when he says that he wanted the others to prosper and was willing to share his secrets and rely on his own talents for continued success. People like that are rare and he is one of them.
Jose Canseco is the guy that saved baseball. His tell all book juiced is what saved the game. For that he is a hero. Would have been nice if he told all sooner though.
He saved baseball twice. The first time by bringing excitement back to a dying game. The second time by telling how he did it, and exposing the whole ugly truth.
Saved the game... from what? From all of the excitement? The record breaking? From the huge electric crowds? Yeah, thanks for ending all of that back into the boring ass game it once again is today.
I love Jose Canseco, I am too young to have watched him play live, but watching his highlights and interviews and everything he seems genuine. He's a good man who just wanted to be the best baseball player he could possibly be and it's sickening how MLB turned their back on one of their stars after promoting the stuff those guys were doing because it making money. I hope and pray Jose finds peace because he deserves it
Dude Jose is still my favorite player of all time he hit the first home run I ever seen in my life,it was 88 or 89 which made me 3 or 4!!! That’s not clear to me anymore but he’s the very first person I got to see bash the ball outta the park!!
Canseco and McGwire were Gods when I was growing up in central Cali in the 80’s. Ain’t nothin’ ever gonna change that. Seeing them play at the Oakland Coliseum, collecting their baseball cards and having their Bash Brothers poster on my wall meant the world to me. I’m 39 now and anytime I see the name Canseco or see him I’m reminded of how awesome he made my childhood. He was the best thing to happen to baseball at that era. It’s too bad what happened to him later on but damn he lived it up. Sports cars and beautiful women. World Champion and MVP. He was king of the world. And for that he paid a price. At least he’s still alive to tell his story. Thanks for this upload. I wonder why he wrote the book. If he hadn’t he might have a job in baseball like McGwire. Then again he might not. Money drives people and they drive Canseco and for that we’ll all remember him. I choose to remember him when he was Mr 40/40 and a God among mortals on the Oakland A’s. Thank you Canseco. For the memories and the warnings of steroids and money.
Growing up, he was my favorite player. I got oakleys cuz he had them. in high school, when he was with the rangers and got tommy john, i had his picture from SI hanging up from him flexing and had the scar. he is still my favorite player.
As a Bay Area kid growing up in the '80s, Canseco was my favorite baseball player. I idolized him. I remember watching this documentary and being happy for him when he was approached by fans at that game after being worried how people might react. Then he gets served papers and man I felt so bad for him. But I don't care what anybody says, he's my favorite ball player, and I root for him still.
He was a beast but he created a lot of shit for a lot of people. He brought people down with him and I lost all respect for him. He got what he deserved.
Agreed. The book was a mistake. However I do not hold it against him because it was a heat of the moment decision when he was upset and not thinking clearly. Baseball asked for it when they turned against him.
Jose graduated 2 years ahead of me, he would occasionally come back to C.P. to play basketball after school. I was lucky enough to play some games against him (with coach Parker) and he was unstoppable. From when Jose first left school to when I seen him again, he must have put on 100 lbs. of muscle. Jose made his mark and not many have accomplished what he did, steroids were rampant during that era, hitters and pitchers alike, so those that could did and those whom chose not to complaint about it. Baseball made millions off Jose and did not have a proper set of guide lines to stop the influence of controlled substances. Easy to look the other way when the tickets, merchandise, concessions are selling out. Shame on MLB. Not heard lately about him, this is an old vid, I hope he is doing well and has been able to find inner peace.
There are many of us out there that are glad that you wrote that book,no regrets bro stand strong and believe! you actually did make baseball great again and all your real fans will stand by you my brother!
Man you’ve grown buddy, you’ve lived the dream with a lot going on and your a survivor for it. Good luck and thanks for the years of baseball excitement. Wish you the best.
I don't care what he did. I'll still cherish the baseball card he autographed for me coming out of the Cleveland stadium locker rooms when I was a kid.
That process server at 31:53 is my dad. I remember him telling me that he had to go out and serve Jose Conseco at the Dirtbag Stadium in Long Beach. The next day he told me he was part of a documentary. Apparently the producers knew it was coming and my dad and Jose were standing there getting directions from the director before you see what was filmed here.
I loved the comment about how watching himself on tape is like watching another person in his body. I used to be a heavy pill popper and watched myself play curling on tv while i was high and felt the same way. At the time i didn't think anything was different at all i just knew i felt better... but a few years later looking back its really embarrassing to see how i acted. That's what drugs do... they completely change who you really are whether your aware of it or not.
He's still lived more of a life than virtually all of us. He should go to high schools and tell the nerdy guys that they will have a worse life than the jocks no matter how much they obey their authority figures and no matter how much they continue to be conformists. It will not matter how many mistakes the jocks make in their lives. They will still have a better life. If someone would have done that for me when I was young, they would basically have saved my life.
This guy is one of the Greats and after watching this it extends to the person he is off the field too. Give this guy a break, in the 1990's he made baseball super exciting to watch, I used to look forward to seeing the Oakland A's play the Blue Jays. It was like a spectacle to see this guy back then.
I loved Jose as a kid I remember going to my local baseball card shop and dropping 40 or so $ on his rookie card and it was my favorite possession for years. He was like a superhero playing baseball. I was at the playoff game vs the blue jays when he hit the upper deck. Rushed out to buy his book, while it hurt him big time personally it did help clean up baseball (50 home run players are going to be rare). I can see the sadness in his eyes, the game he loved betrayed him in his eyes, (although it can be argued he betrayed the game first). The money is gone and probably some of his "friends " with it. We all make mistakes so I wish him all the best.
I always admired Jose when I was young. And the fact that he made the sacrifice in the name of the game is what matters to me. "Godfather of steroids" wanted to tell it like it is. That's sacrifice. That's passion. I admire that. He needs to know that while he regrets making the book Juiced, he made an impact, and I'm sorry it was at a cost.
Pete Rose once famously said "It's a round bat and a round ball and you got to hit it square". It's a hard thing to do. I don't think that some people realize that just taking steroids doesn't, on it's own, make you a great hitter. Steroids increase strength and stamina and will turn a 400 foot home run into maybe a 500 foot home run. But, you still needed the raw talent to hit it 400 feet to begin with. It's great eyesight, timing, unbelievable hand/eye coordination, technique, practice and maybe the last thing is strength. The steroids help with the strength. Jose already had all the other things before he ever juiced. Don't ever discount how great a ball player he was only because he used steroids. I wish Jose all the best. In that picture of that congressional hearing where you see all those guys sitting there...McGwire, Palmiero, Sosa, Clemens, Canseco...there was ONE guy who was honest that day. And history has now proven it. And that ONE guy was Canseco.
@@usure9250 Canseco hot 462 home runs in the major league, 37th on the all-time list. Is it really that easy? If so...see the ball...hit the ball and forget it...Where are you on that list?
This man needs some management and start a pod cast: good looking, articulate and has excellent ability to express himself and analysis of sports. I think he will find a positive path. Very honest person
I had the pleasure of serving him & his brother several meals at a resturant/bar when him & his brother began renting a house at 1 of 3 local "resorts" along the Colorado River in Yuma, AZ. This was 6-8yrs ago and he looked very healthy, he was very quiet & reserved. And always very kind to me no matter how aweful the food was. 😉 if I remember correctly he was starting a new job as head coach for a minor league team or a college. (I could be wrong but he dressed the part & that was the rumor around town) He was still renting the house when I moved out of AZ. This documentary needs an update. He was and always will be one of the best!
A human story. This just reaffirms my belief in reincarnation. We're not done till we learn how to be a better person. I'm far from finished! I could be wrong, but it makes the most sense to me. See you in the next life, I won't remember, but I'll keep improving. Only option I got.
if not for a back injury in 1999, jose would have been the first to break roger maris' 61. he had 31 by the all star break and was on a terror, would have been interesting how mlb and the media would have approached jose conseco, on the tampa bay devil rays, as the person who would break the hollowed mark of ruth and maris, my bet is there would have been people in the game trying to keep him from getting there.
Jose you will always be one of my baseball heroes and you are an honest man! My 8 year old son knows about you and he played his first baseball game today! - from Beijing, China :)
