Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball
Date undefinedI agree with Watty's review. Way too much rehashing of the best from JUICED. Tedious court testimonies and questions from lie detector tests.
The only real interesting new stuff is about the refusal of the networks and media to accuse Roger Clemens of juicing up. Also of interest--Magglio Ordonez' almost certain steroid usage, and A-Rod's interest in 'roids and Canseco's ex-wife. Check this one out at the library.
Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball
Date undefinedTells the truth (as far as I can tell)...
Pats himself on the back constantly...
Absolves himself of all personal responsibility for taking steroids...
Absolves himself of all personal responsibility for injecting steroids in other players...
Collects big $ for writing a tell-all book...
Baseball, like all other pro sports, is saturated with cheaters. And nobody (who's cheating or benefits by the cheating) likes a rat. That's why most players, agents, team management, & media claimed Canseco lied in his book "Juiced" (which I never read). "Vindicated" is merely his *I told you so* follow-up.

Date undefinedVindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball It's so interesting when you've read not one, but two books filled with the type of self-serving truth Jose Canseco has so freely given us...all after the fact, of course! These two offerings might have taken on an entirely different tone had Canseco not allowed his huge ego interfere in very paragraph. Senor Canseco acts as though he is the second coming of an Omnipotent god rather then a simple baseball player who blew it for himself and many others by "Juicing" it up. He has excused himself everything while blaming everyone else on and off the field for his miseries and stunted career. My only hope is that the "Steroid Era" is marked in every book on baseball stats that is of importance. Their stats should not stand along those that were earned by hard work, sheer talent, practice and guts. None of the players he mentions, including himself, deserve a place in the Hall of Fame. Grow up Jose and lose the ego that got you where you are today. I used to be a fan...now I can only tell you how much you disgust me.
