The Last Five Minutes of Jose Canseco
2008-03-26 15:35
Pat Jordan has a funny story about chasing Jose Canseco for a magazine profile over at Deadspin: I have been pursuing Jose, like the Holy Grail, for three months now, trying to nail him down for a magazine profile he'd agreed to do in January, partly because, as his lawyer/agent had told me, "Jose's on the balls on his ass," and partly because Jose was trying to interest a publisher in his second steroids-tell-all book, which existed only as a two page proposal of typos that had yet to interest any publisher. This second book would be titled "Vindicated," and it would "encompass approximately 300 pages and will require six months to complete." Uh, and nice zinger to end the piece, right? One commentor on Deadspin said you could just skip the entire story and go right to the last line and that pretty much sums it up. Yow.

About the Toaster
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development. For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ. |
As for Jose, what a schmuck. Feel bad for A-Rod. Read Juiced. One of the worst baseball books, ever. But, thenagain, I put Babe Ruth's book ghosted by Asteric Frick in that category two. Like the inside dope on Juicy. Maybe, I'll get that, too.
Anyone ever read any Robert Lipsyte?
