Big Fat Neyer?
Rob Neyer takes on Jose Canseco’s credibility in his New York Observer review of the former bash brother’s book “Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant ‘Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big.”
Neyer’s two most important points?
1) Canseco’s glaring factual errors pertaining to actual statistical information (how often he played, what game of the World Series he was in, etc.) severely undermine his credibility regarding unprovable activities that he claims to have witnessed.
2) Canseco is delusional if he truly believes that he could play just as well at age 40 as he did at 25 (as he claims) and that his middle-class, English-speaking ass was discriminated against because he was a Latino ballplayer in the mid-80s.
