Jose Canseco quotes:

I'm just basically telling a story of my life.

These individuals on steroids, does it enhance their career, does it give them a little more strength, a little more stamina, a little more psychological edge? Absolutely. How do you determine what - what their stats would be without steroids? It's impossible to tell.

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.

Are we to say that any individual who's on steroids that has an angry moment is due to steroids? What about the individual who gets angry and kills someone who's not on steroids? What do we blame it on now?

I don't recommend steroids for everyone, and I don't recommend growth hormones for everyone. But for certain individuals, I truly believe, because I've experimented with it for so many years, that it can make an average athlete a super athlete. It can make a super athlete - incredible. Just legendary.

Tony La Russa was quoted as saying that I was using steroids back then, and I was talking about it in the clubhouse, openly.

I don't recommend steroids for everyone, and I don't recommend growth hormones for everyone, but for certain individuals, I truly believe, because I've experimented with it for so many years, that it can make an average athlete a super athlete. It can make a super athlete-incredible. Just legendary.

I cannot bet my life on it, because I was not involved, that Alex Rodriguez ever used steroids. But in my opinion, I suspect he has, yes.

Steroids, used correctly, will not only make you stronger and sexier, they will also make you healthier,

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.

Because I tried to everything possible to become the best player in the world? Do I believe steroids and growth hormones helped me achieve that? Yes. Were there a lot of other players doing it that I had to compete against? Yes.

I was a professional athlete, the best baseball player in the world at one point.

The fans love the home runs, the home run competition between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.

I'm tired of justifying what I've said.

I've found that it's a great stress reliever to get adjusted. It takes away a lot of the tightness in the muscles.

My motive, and I will make it clear and look you in the eyes, is to attack major league baseball. That's my motive.

The national pastime is juiced.

I think you want to try every sport possible just to experience life.

The national pastime is juiced,

Did I put them in contact with the people to acquire them? Yes. Did I educate them on how to use them properly, and what way, shape, or form, and when, and with what supplements? Yes. Absolutely.

If you look at our world, it's a world of critique.

I support the truth, that is all there is to it. And if you fall in that category of the truth, you are supported by the truth.

Every time that I have ever tried to help a woman out, I have been incarcerated.

I think baseball owes McGwire a gratitude of thanks for putting baseball back on the map where it should be.

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.

All I have is the truth, and I've proven that.

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.

Time travel is possible. Will explain later

I get criticized for anything I do.

I am and will always be just simply a basball [sic] player, my tomb stone will just say. Baseball.
