* Reviews: Vini, Vici, Vindicated

April 2, 2008

They’re coming in fast and furious now.

  • Selena Roberts on SI.com writes that Canseco’s allegations about other players who use warrant further scrutiny. “It’s up to baseball’s new detective squad to unearth the truth about A-Rod, about Ordonez, about their owners, before Canseco makes it a trilogy.”
  • Chris Olds of the Orlando Sentinel calls Vindicated “a very simple P.S. to Juiced, an I-told-you-so update with a $25.95 cover price.”
  • Sid Dorfman, a 70-plus year veteran of sports journalism for the Newark Star-Ledge. is surprisingly generous for an “old-school” guy. While he has no special love for the knuckleheaded Canseco, he does point out that he was more than a pretty fair player in his day. Great line, nodding to the statement that Canseco introduced Alex Rodriguez to a drug supplier: “I’ve met any number of hoods in my time and no one has yet suggested that I’m a member of the mob.”
  • As Canseco makes the talk show circuit, he should develop a tougher skin, as reported by sports media columnist Richard Sandomir in The New York Times.
