In today’s Modesto Bee.

Odd that anyone would want to be associated playing a role in the steroids era, but according to the piece,

What you may not recall, though, was Canseco and McGwire during their stay in Modesto. Canseco was here in 1984, McGwire the final month of ’84 and all of ’85. They overlapped for only the end of ’84 while the Motown A’s nailed down a California League title.

McGwire and Canseco were young, ambitious and would have done anything to make
a name for themselves in baseball. Sadly, we found out later how far they went.

Like if they had played their ball in another city, they wouldn’t have gotten involved with PEDs? Modesto is a hotbed of the steroids community? And after all is said and done, the best Tafoya can come up with is, “Did Modesto have a role in the steroids era? Possibly.”

And possibly not.
