The year before he played with Canseco, 22 homeruns. The season he came to the team, 37 homeruns. Since he has averaged 41 homeruns every season.

Canseco is not a genius but he definitely has a lot of knowledge and I don't think he's the barbarian the media made him out to be. I don't like the fact that he basically ratted his ex-teammates out, especially McGwire, they were the bash brothers.

I can't believe how every player who tests positive does so because he took some supplement that contained roids. Every time someone gets busted and his name makes headlines he will blame a supplement. I don't think Raffy used roids this year but IMO he was stupid enough to take Deca and it stayed in his body for a while. My main concern out of this whole cluster**** is that there will be more restrictions on supplements because these guys are testing positive due to impure supps

On a side not, why does the MLB not seem so concerned about players using amphetamines, chewing tobacco, or alcohol. I mean, it's not like chewing tobacco isn't habit forming or dangerous when abused
