Jose was right on the money. And yes, baseball is guilty of a major cover up.Best place to buy Minnesota Twins tickets?

yes but Steroid use was only in the 90's. The 80's were cocaine, and the 70's marijuana.Who's the greatest baseball player most baseball fans have never even heard of?

I think it's pretty clear that Canseco was telling the truth. I don't think that steroid use went way back to the 70s, but I'm sure it started in the late 80s, and then really took off into the 90s. If you look at some old stats, the numbers really didn't start getting crazy until 1992 of '93. Canseco mentioned McGwire and Palmiero in "Juiced", and Palmiero tested positive, and McGwire declined to answer when testifying. Canseco also said Ivan Rodriguez took 'roids, and now Rodriguez is much smaller than he used to be. Like him or not, Canseco didn't make that stuff up.of course

I don't think there was a cover-up, per se. A cover-up implies that they had specific knowledge of steroid use. I think it was closer to willful ignorance - that is, refusing to investigate any allegations of use, then saying that they'd never found proof.More Questions & Answers...
