Even for Jose, some courtesy must be extended

Hold your horses, everybody -Jose Canseco is as greedy, self-centered and self-promoting as any jock, current or former. He cares as much about ‘saving’ baseball as O.J. Simpson does about finding the ‘real’ killer of ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. O.J. hasn’t looked in a mirror in nearly 14 years.

But even Canseco deserves some boundaries. Yesterday, at a book signing in Manhattan, MLB investigators allegedly cornered him in a bathroom. I’m sorry, but a bathroom is NOT the place to conduct an investigation. Like most guys, I really see the bathroom as a place of solitude-outside of having to take my chances at Penn Station or Port Authority in Manhattan.

It’s a shame that such a bum like Canseco is now looked upon as a cherished source on performance enhancing drugs in MLB. He still does steroids to this day, and would qualify a student at Simpson’s school of wife beating (fortunately, Canseco didn’t take murder as an extra credit elective)

Still, he was right about many things involving steroids. He’s been more forthright than any of the Lords of Baseball, and nearly all the players.

A distressing question: Which book would provide more truth: Canseco’s Vindicated, or Eliot Spitzer’s soon to be released, Ten Tips To a Fulfilling Life Of Marriage and Politics? Bad as he is, Jose has never claimed to be a paragon of virtue.
