Jose Canseco AKA Jose Canseco y Capas, Jr. Born: 2-Jul-1964 Birthplace: Havana, Cuba
Gender: Male Race or Ethnicity: Hispanic Sexual orientation: Straight Occupation: Baseball Nationality: United States Executive summary: Troubled Oakland A's player Steroid-addled baseball slugger, and author of the tell-all Juiced, in which he claimed to have introduced Mark McGwire and numerous other major league players to steroids and human growth hormones, and described baseball's steroid-drenched 1980s and '90s. Nicknamed "The Chemist" by other players, for his knowledge and advocacy of performance-enhancing drugs. Seems to still believe that steroids were good for baseball, bringing more fans to the park to watch hyperhuman stars belt home runs in record-setting numbers. "Is it cheating," Canseco asks in his book, "to do what everyone wants you to do?"
