Jose Canseco on Mark McGwire Joining A's, Mark Taking Steroids (Part 4) 

It was great seeing the bash brothers in the late 80's

Very interesting hearing him talk about hitting home runs in different parks. That was fascinating.

Baseball reality from someone who was there, simply fabulous. Thank you Jose.

Started lifting because of jose...been a fan since high-school

I cant believe him and Mcguire was on the same team. Badass.

I still remember the article back then saying " They should just move the All-Star game to Oakland." Cause thats where all of them played. Lol. Jose, Mark, Rickey, Dave...

He explains things in such great detail.

This man was my hero growing up. Jose and Ozzy, Mark Mcguire, and Ricky Henderson, it don't get more exciting than those dudes!!! The As are still my team to this day.

Canseco is right about each ball park being different for hone runs and stats. Wriggly is a super small field I’ve been multiple times and couldn’t believe how small it seems even from home plate!!

Interesting breakdown on the difference in ballparks and homeruns.

Canseco's claims about steroids that everyone denied at first were later shown to be true. He's one of the good guys regardless of his faults (and we all have them).

As a kid Canseco was my Hero me being Hispanic also!!!!!!! Blessings Mr Canseco

Canseco, Big Mark, and Dave Henderson was great trio in batting lineups in the late 80s and early 90s.

Ballpark matter a lot for all baseball bettors out there. I think Colorado Ballpark is a great example. The ball travel further when hits due to high altitude.

Damn. Never thought about the design of the park effecting home runs. That’s crazy

“Is that a jose canseco bat? Please tell me you didn’t pay money for this?” 😂😂😂 IYKYK

Every baseball kid had Canseco , Mcgwire cards back then. it did make baseball exciting back then that's why they let them get away with it for that long.

Mark McGwire's popeye forearm is freakish genetics. Whenever I saw Mark at bat, his forearm would stand out to the point that it appeared he's holding a toothpick instead of a baseball bat.

There was nothing better than the bash brothers

Loved watching these guys play!

Great analysis

How dope it was to be a kid at the Coliseum watching the greatest team ever!

Jose Canseco is always a great Interview... Great stories and always keeps it real. More people should have him on... He should do Joe Rogan Podcast and Mike Tysons for sure... 💪🏼👌🏼

KGJ homerun's went down because he got hurt & wasn't the same player. his 1st season with the reds he hit 40 HR's... the next 4 seasons he was hurt. Then you gotta realize he was 30+ & wasn't taking PHD's

Very good, well explained educated interview!

Vlad doesn't interrupt when his athlete guests are speaking on sports specific stories. He knows his lane.

Very interesting conversation.

Good interview Canseco seems to be a very nice guy I always liked him he wasn't overly cocky just big and strong and well-mannered

Good grief. This guy remembers a random regular season game at the Kingdom in Seattle and the type of pitch he hit a home run on? I must say that's quite impressive.

Canseco MLB & Oakland A's Living Legend.

Jose Conseco. Production is on point.

40/40 man!

Good video

My man!!! First 40/40 player!

JOSE IS THE TRUTH

He's right about the Kingdome,I used to go to Mariners games for free back in the day....

Lookup the Kingdome field dimensions, that ballpark heavily favored lefthanded batters, only 312' to the pole, and a mere 362' to the alley. For righthanded hitters, 331' and 376' respectively, but the controlled environment of being a dome is what Canseco is referring to here. No wind, no humidity, in an environment like that the ball definitely carries.

Been an A's fan ever sinces I was born though the 80-90 and Bash Brothers was the best that time in the late 89 90 ✌😎

That’s good stuff

All this time I thought "Bash Bros" was in reference to "Bashing" home runs out of the park. Interesting did not know it was to do with their celebration with their forearms.

I remember being in the stands and seeing this guy come up to the batting plate, I must have been on upper deck and this guy looked YUUUUGE!

Jose ...Keeping it real 👍

Mark McGwire in person back then was a huge human being no mistake about it

Loved watching the bash brothers as a kid

loving this.. very interesting.. he has nothing to lose , so let it out.....

Jose is cool. Tells it straight!

Can't deny it " bash bros " were baddass , but who could forget a SF lineup w/ Clark ,Mitchell,and Williams ...seen them hit back to back to bak homeruns on several occasions

Cool video

It’s insane how the ball park plays into home runs and whatnot. I wonder what they would’ve done if they played in modern day Coors field 😂

Bash bro's 🤘👍 awesome time back then.

Griffey did it without cheating...

should be in the hall of fame

Ppl act like steroids hit the ball and discredit the athlete this decade of baseball was the best and most exciting

Great story. Mark Grace had a great strategy for slumps...he called it Slump Busting or Jumping on a Grenade.

My favorite player growing up.

Great story all facts

Legend

best era ..... Oakland coliseum memories

“Jose Conseco just snitchin because he finished” - Rozay

Great Baseball player

A rods power numbers went up after he left.... granted he did juice. Canseco numbers at kingdome were 232 avg 320 obp and 450 slugging. He hit 12 homers in 241 at bats. Apparently Griffey had a bit better time making contact there.

You don’t really understand how big this guy is until you see him in person then realize he was juiced to the gils swinging a bat for a living... Miami OG 🙌

Somebody tell the TV sports channel to have Jose Canseco in the show. If they can have a-rod mr. steroid (because dates j-lo) they can have Canseco.

Jose Canseco was my favorite baseball player growing up because we had a AAA team in my home town that feed to the A’s. He the reason I started watching baseball.

As soon as Seattle had an open (in the damp Northwest) air stadium, Griffey wanted out! Officially it was ‘to be closer to my family in Florida’. But Cincinnati isn’t all that close to Florida!

This guy belongs in baseball

Imagine saying 220 is skinny, lil guy 🤣🤣🤣 this guy is a beast lol

Goat 🐐

Canseco is the only one who tells the truth.

You will never see anyone swing a bat like Jose... swung it like a wiffle bat

Griffey killed it his first couple of years with the reds before he started getting injured all the time

Amazing interview

That should be the name of a cycle ( bash brothers)

Imagine if griffey took steroids 😂😂 he would of avg 75 hr per year and would of had 900 career HRS because the riods probably would of prevented all those damn injuries

FACTS

He's right about the Oakland ballpark being the worst for home runs, especially at night.

We are all not perfect you know but this player gave his best every night

I love this guy. Isn’t it funny how we chastise the truth tellers and celebrate the liars? Love you Jose. 👌👌👌

Ken Griffey got older thats why it went down. He was still a beast.

Vlad got a hard on hearing all this snitching

Goat

True Story. Was either later 1989 or early 1990 and I was going to school in Boston. Walking down Boylston Street not far from the Berkeley College of Music. I look over at the bridge that crosses the Mass Pike (I had to be at least 150 yards away) and see this guy that had just come out of the Hynes Convention Center T station and I did a double take because this guy was the biggest human I had ever seen. Is still clear in my memory as if it was yesterday. Wearing a white undershirt with jean overalls and huge $%!kicker work boots. I watched him take a left and proceeded to go on about my day. Later that evening or the next I was talking with a casual friend of mine who worked at or knew someone who worked at the Sheraton who just happened to mention that the A’s were staying there for a weekend series. Only then did it dawn on me that it was Mark McGuire who I had seen the previous day, that guy is from another planet.

One of the greatest to grace the diamond. Well, home plate lol.

It's true what he said about McGwire in 87. He hit 49 homers and sat out the last 2 games of that season to be with his wife who was giving birth any day. He could have hit 50 that year as a rookie.

Wow, so true, "Not successful every time". A 300 hitter is considered good but technically they are getting outs (2/3) more then on {1/3), crazy.

He's right on about the Sissy Seattle Dome😂

I've heard commentators make those types of comments for years every thing he is saying is a 100% correct

Say what you want but he's making a lot of sense

I hated the Oakland A’s back in the day because they were that good, but it’s nice reminiscing this stuff now.. Definitely a team that brought more interest and buzz to the sport.

Call this man anything you want but this man isn’t a liar

His account of the game, the pitches he would hit! Bashing forearms lol

He's talking more clear than I thought he would.

Jose was the man 40/40

Jose Canseco 1986 Donruss Rated Rookie baseball card!

He has a great memory..

Ken Griffey didn’t juice. The 2nd best home run hitter in history

Now Seattle is one of the harder parks to go yard

Aint this a throwback clip?

Damn them roíds got his skin looking like 1983 BMW old leather
