the book was the best thing. he's not a liar like all the others. i root for him

There was a time when this man was one of the most prolific hitters that baseball has ever seen - steroids or not⚾️👊🏼

You signed my 1989 World Series ball in Phoenix AZ in the parking lot at spring training. I still have it! Thanks brother

when he got served those letters at 32:00 and than signs that little girls bat immediately afterwards....shows he's a good person who's just lost

He didn't hide the truth, good or bad; that was his crime in the eyes of major league baseball. He should always be commended for his honesty. He has always been a hero of mine.

Very open and honest. Any man who sincerely regrets and admits his mistakes, I respect highly.

This country is quick making you famous, and x2 faster making you look like a monster

You know, at the end of the day, the way Jose's daughter talks about her dad is the only thing that matters. Even without the fans, the cheers, and the millions of dollars, he must be doing SOMETHING right. I'm a great dad (if I do say so myself!), but I would have to be dead for my kids to speak so glowingly about me lol!

Jose Canseco is really a good guy at heart. It's a shame that people and the MLB kept bothering him

My favorite player as a kid growing up in Texas. I genuinely hope he knows how much he has meant to baseball fans like myself. He's clearly a good guy and he had a legendary baseball career. I really hope Jose finds happiness.

In 1988 Jose Canseco was hands down the best player in the world.

One of the greatest players to ever play the game...

I've never stopped liking or caring for J. C. In my eyes he did what he had to to survive in Pro Baseball. Now look at the price he's paid. I think he's paid for it all 10 x's over. Support him or leave him be.

No matter what, Jose will always be my favorite all time baseball player. Good Luck & God Bless you Jose Canseco!

He’s going through so much. My heart goes out to him. He’s basically a gentle kind man who takes responsibility for his mistakes. God bless him.

I've just grown a great respect for Jose, he's really changed over the years LET HIM BACK INTO BASEBALL!

I pray someone reaches out to Jose and help him. We all deserve a break. He seems beaten down.

Jose, keep doing what you're doing man. You can do this.

Jose, we all make mistakes, and you've made some, but you should have a second opportunity on life...stay strong and never, never, never give up !

Man... I appreciate his realness.

Jose canseco was the reason I even got into sports as a 12-year old back in 1987! He was THE MAN all the kids in school wanted to have baseball cards of! He looked like a damn Greek god out there at the plate-YOU Jose are a great person and you were a great player! I look with more disdain at MLB and all the other players who wanted to make that $$$ while keeping you out of it and to me I respect you more. You will always be a great sports figure to me-watching you play was part of my best childhood memories and I would never change that!

Heartbreaking - this guy had it all - and lost it all, so fast! I feel for him.

Jose is a legend, I admired him as a kid and still do. He's honest and going through the human experience, which isn't always easy for anyone.

steroids or no steroids it still takes a talent to hit a baseball and Jose had it all

I really hope he could find peace and happiness. My heart aches for this wonderful, but confused human being. I wish there was something I could do to help him :(

Best player of my childhood. Wish him well

Growing up in the Bay in the 80s and 90s, we were blessed. Canseco, Big Mac, Rickey, Stewart, Kevin Mitchell, Will the Thrill, Barry, Montana, Rife, Young, Lott, Run TMC. MAN.

hey jose i was there september 23 1988 in the bleachers with my mom when you stole the 40th base, that day i became an oakland a's fan also rooted for you and the oakland a's. awesome day. i still have the picture. this year i bought your yellow batting jersey at the coliseum and hung it on my room to remind me of that day. my mom died back in 2016 but the memory will never be forgotten.

I grew up watching Canseco and all his greatness , never once imagining he be where he is now in life , it doesn’t seem real to see him as just another guy now, he was larger than life and gave a lot of us hope and desire to be great , idk the words I’m looking for , my heart breaks for him , I’ve never met him and yet I feel like if I could help him I would , I’ll always be a fan .

Jose Canseco SAVED the game of baseball by outing the STEROID/PED's in the game. He told the WHOLE TRUTH and wrote the Gospel of baseball - whoever he said did steroids did it. Thanks for bringing Honest performance back into the game of baseball because now they test for it. Jose Canseco revolutionized testing for baseball. THANKS JOSE CANSECO! Because of you many PHONIES can't stand in the HALL OF FAME next to the REAL HALL OF FAMERS who DIDN'T use steroids. Too bad some people don't see it this way. I believed JOSE CANSECO from the time his book came out, and had many debates and discussions defending his book against fools who called him a snitch and a liar. How can you say that if he played on these teams and knew so many other players. You have NOTHING to be ashamed of man, you told it like it is, nothing but TRUTH.

I have over 20 of his 1986 Donruss Rated Rookie cards. My favorite player in my childhood.

People usually attack you if you dare speak the truth.

At that time you never saw anything like him..... One of the greatest

this guy is as genuine as they come . Many guys will keep their secrets to themselves but i truly believe him when he says that he wanted the others to prosper and was willing to share his secrets and rely on his own talents for continued success. People like that are rare and he is one of them.

I grew up in the east bay in the 80s, can't remember how many games we went to and watched him. Great memories! thanks Jose! I was one of the guys in the bleachers yelling our heads off for you!

This guy canseco should be a Hollywood star

I dont care what any body say greatest of all time

I too went through a divorce and I know every feeling he’s having, you do feel guilty and it feels wrong , you feel like you’ve let your child down and using someone else’s child as a crutch , it’s really hard. God bless you Jose, I’m praying for all the best to come your way

He’s a good guy at heart

This is a documentary from 2008. In 2021 Jose bought a new house in Las Vegas for $1.1M, paid $700K up-front. He also owns Canseco’s Car Wash in Las Vegas. Additionally he makes roughly $100K a year in signing gigs and personal appearances.

I still have his autograph. Love it

Ive been looking for this ...love you for uploading it! i dont care Canseco was my favorite growing up

Hes really a more than truthful dude. I give him that. I've followed baseball since 1970 religiously and remember him so well back in the day. I never new who and what the actual Jose C was about. I've made so many very similar mistakes thats completely complicating my life in my late 50s. I feel for his situation

His daughter loves him so much, that’s so beautiful

Jose, wishing you the best. Thanks for sharing and helping others.

Ken Griffey Jr. Is a legend and had an all around perfect game yet no steroid use.

Growing up, he was my favorite player. I got oakleys cuz he had them. in high school, when he was with the rangers and got tommy john, i had his picture from SI hanging up from him flexing and had the scar. he is still my favorite player.

Canseco and McGwire were Gods when I was growing up in central Cali in the 80’s. Ain’t nothin’ ever gonna change that. Seeing them play at the Oakland Coliseum, collecting their baseball cards and having their Bash Brothers poster on my wall meant the world to me. I’m 39 now and anytime I see the name Canseco or see him I’m reminded of how awesome he made my childhood. He was the best thing to happen to baseball at that era. It’s too bad what happened to him later on but damn he lived it up. Sports cars and beautiful women. World Champion and MVP. He was king of the world. And for that he paid a price. At least he’s still alive to tell his story. Thanks for this upload. I wonder why he wrote the book. If he hadn’t he might have a job in baseball like McGwire. Then again he might not. Money drives people and they drive Canseco and for that we’ll all remember him. I choose to remember him when he was Mr 40/40 and a God among mortals on the Oakland A’s. Thank you Canseco. For the memories and the warnings of steroids and money.

I've always said Jose was a truly good person who made some bad decisions in life. But, hey, don't we all? Yes, we DO!

Jose Canseco is the guy that saved baseball. His tell all book juiced is what saved the game. For that he is a hero. Would have been nice if he told all sooner though.

Love You Jose! Thanks for all the great A's memories and joy you brought for us A's fans in the 80's and 90's. Your a fighter and you will beat this!

Dude Jose is still my favorite player of all time he hit the first home run I ever seen in my life,it was 88 or 89 which made me 3 or 4!!! That’s not clear to me anymore but he’s the very first person I got to see bash the ball outta the park!!

My favorite player of all time

He basically saved baseball.

I can tell Jose is a sincere guy.

I love Jose Canseco, I am too young to have watched him play live, but watching his highlights and interviews and everything he seems genuine. He's a good man who just wanted to be the best baseball player he could possibly be and it's sickening how MLB turned their back on one of their stars after promoting the stuff those guys were doing because it making money. I hope and pray Jose finds peace because he deserves it

It should be called "Self destruction" of Jose Canseco. He'll always be my favorite player but he destroyed his own life.

There are many of us out there that are glad that you wrote that book,no regrets bro stand strong and believe! you actually did make baseball great again and all your real fans will stand by you my brother!

A very sad ending for this 80's legend.

As a Bay Area kid growing up in the '80s, Canseco was my favorite baseball player. I idolized him. I remember watching this documentary and being happy for him when he was approached by fans at that game after being worried how people might react. Then he gets served papers and man I felt so bad for him. But I don't care what anybody says, he's my favorite ball player, and I root for him still.

I don't care what he did. I'll still cherish the baseball card he autographed for me coming out of the Cleveland stadium locker rooms when I was a kid.

I loved the comment about how watching himself on tape is like watching another person in his body. I used to be a heavy pill popper and watched myself play curling on tv while i was high and felt the same way. At the time i didn't think anything was different at all i just knew i felt better... but a few years later looking back its really embarrassing to see how i acted. That's what drugs do... they completely change who you really are whether your aware of it or not.

Canseco deserves forgiveness and at minimum should be a broadcaster. He's smart, funny, and entertaining. Nothing but love for the guy. Back then it was a different time. Wish him well. We've ALL made mistakes and we all deserve forgiveness, especially if genuinely sorry about the situation, and he Is. I hope Major Leauge Baseball welcomes him back one day. 🙏

Keep your head up Jose.... you're a STAR to me

Jose graduated 2 years ahead of me, he would occasionally come back to C.P. to play basketball after school. I was lucky enough to play some games against him (with coach Parker) and he was unstoppable. From when Jose first left school to when I seen him again, he must have put on 100 lbs. of muscle. Jose made his mark and not many have accomplished what he did, steroids were rampant during that era, hitters and pitchers alike, so those that could did and those whom chose not to complaint about it. Baseball made millions off Jose and did not have a proper set of guide lines to stop the influence of controlled substances. Easy to look the other way when the tickets, merchandise, concessions are selling out. Shame on MLB. Not heard lately about him, this is an old vid, I hope he is doing well and has been able to find inner peace.

Still one of my heros love to play softball either with or against him, how kick ass would that be to play with or against a hero.

I've always loved this guy.

Man you’ve grown buddy, you’ve lived the dream with a lot going on and your a survivor for it. Good luck and thanks for the years of baseball excitement. Wish you the best.

"Honesty is the best policy until that policy martyrs you." - brian padrick drake

I loved Jose as a kid I remember going to my local baseball card shop and dropping 40 or so $ on his rookie card and it was my favorite possession for years. He was like a superhero playing baseball. I was at the playoff game vs the blue jays when he hit the upper deck. Rushed out to buy his book, while it hurt him big time personally it did help clean up baseball (50 home run players are going to be rare). I can see the sadness in his eyes, the game he loved betrayed him in his eyes, (although it can be argued he betrayed the game first). The money is gone and probably some of his "friends " with it. We all make mistakes so I wish him all the best.

Jose is the greatest. Best player in baseball in the late 80s.

He was my favorite. They weren’t illegal! At the time. Hell with those who shut him out. All the great players in late 80s n 90s. Did them.

I always thought Jose was a nice guy. I met him at 24 hour fitness in Northridge CA. Very cool guy and funny

They need to leave him alone

You know what I love about jose? His honest period.......

ALways liked him, and admired his skills, and his honesty even moreso

I always admired Jose when I was young. And the fact that he made the sacrifice in the name of the game is what matters to me. "Godfather of steroids" wanted to tell it like it is. That's sacrifice. That's passion. I admire that. He needs to know that while he regrets making the book Juiced, he made an impact, and I'm sorry it was at a cost.

Damn, this is like 10 years old

He's still lived more of a life than virtually all of us. He should go to high schools and tell the nerdy guys that they will have a worse life than the jocks no matter how much they obey their authority figures and no matter how much they continue to be conformists. It will not matter how many mistakes the jocks make in their lives. They will still have a better life. If someone would have done that for me when I was young, they would basically have saved my life.

This was a good video. Jose Canseco was the man, I will never forget that!

This guy is one of the Greats and after watching this it extends to the person he is off the field too. Give this guy a break, in the 1990's he made baseball super exciting to watch, I used to look forward to seeing the Oakland A's play the Blue Jays. It was like a spectacle to see this guy back then.

Jose, voy a ti hermano, que Dios te bendiga

Greatest player in late 80s. He still had talent. He is commended for helping kids see the danger of steroids.

Jose is a good man. I don't know him personally but it shows how good a man he is by signing the little girls bat right after he got served. So unfortunate for a man who stands to tell the truth be ridiculed as he has been. A hero in my childhood and still a hero today.

PUT GOD IN YOUR LIFE JOSE AND HELL GIVE YOU BACK WHAT YOU ONCE LOVED YOUR A BIG INSPIRATION PAY YOURS DUES AND START FRESH GOD BLESS YOU OG

Pete Rose once famously said "It's a round bat and a round ball and you got to hit it square". It's a hard thing to do. I don't think that some people realize that just taking steroids doesn't, on it's own, make you a great hitter. Steroids increase strength and stamina and will turn a 400 foot home run into maybe a 500 foot home run. But, you still needed the raw talent to hit it 400 feet to begin with. It's great eyesight, timing, unbelievable hand/eye coordination, technique, practice and maybe the last thing is strength. The steroids help with the strength. Jose already had all the other things before he ever juiced. Don't ever discount how great a ball player he was only because he used steroids. I wish Jose all the best. In that picture of that congressional hearing where you see all those guys sitting there...McGwire, Palmiero, Sosa, Clemens, Canseco...there was ONE guy who was honest that day. And history has now proven it. And that ONE guy was Canseco.

Jose, I've been a huge fan of yours for years now and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt you've got what it takes to get your life back into some sort of normalcy. Keep on keepin on.

Every time he came to ANAHEIM and play here he came to el TORITO MEXICAN restaurant. And he was the nicest guy. ANIMO JOSÉ .....

Jose has a beautiful, intelligent and caring woman 1/2 his age. Things could be worse.

if not for a back injury in 1999, jose would have been the first to break roger maris' 61. he had 31 by the all star break and was on a terror, would have been interesting how mlb and the media would have approached jose conseco, on the tampa bay devil rays, as the person who would break the hollowed mark of ruth and maris, my bet is there would have been people in the game trying to keep him from getting there.

Canseco one of the best baseball has ever seen.

Wish you the best Jose Stay strong hopefully someone will reach out to you and give u a break Much Respect TMH

A human story. This just reaffirms my belief in reincarnation. We're not done till we learn how to be a better person. I'm far from finished! I could be wrong, but it makes the most sense to me. See you in the next life, I won't remember, but I'll keep improving. Only option I got.

I saw Dave Henderson and Jose Canseco hit back-to-back over the fence home runs in person back in 1988.

THIS IS LIKE MY 3RD TIME WATCHING THIS > I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY AND HE'S HOLDING HIS END AS A DAD ! TODAY HE HAS INTEGRITY .

Best of luck to you Jose. True fans love you and the sick people always kick the ones that are down to make themselves feel better. Keep the faith.

Man that Heidi is too much. “I care so much about Jose” while trashing him to the camera crew saying she wants to leave.

Good guy that made a few bad decisions. Jose was always a likable guy

Mr. Jose Canseco , Very Proud of you !!! Keep striving and LEARNING AND EXPERIENCING LIFE ; FAMILY LIFE 👍😎

I LOVE Jose Canseco
