Remember, this is com- ing from a guy who missed a deep fly ball, which bounced off his head and continued over the wall for a homerun. Canseco should JUSt fo- cus on his personal business, and not try to further his self-righteous role as the torch-bearer against ste- roids. One was enough, but rhis is too much. And this book comes right in time for the new season, in which A-Rod is heavily on pace to continue his pursuit of HANK AARON's record (nor Barry Bonds). Whether these charges nrc accurate is still to be determined, but one thing is certain, A-Rod is tight-lipped and focused on base- ball. Good idea.
