After a lull, Jose Canseco is back in the news after he defaulted on his mortgage and his home was foreclosed. Poor Jose, but look on the bright side. This can be fodder for his next book. a paranoic, conspiracy theory about how the baseball establishment ruined him for daring to speak “the truth.”
Anyway, here’s the NY Times on books not on Bud Selig’s night stand. The LAist Web site published this somewhat bizarre interview, the type where you expect to find a question like, “if you could be a tree, what tree would you be?”
There’s no denying Canseco is a sad figure, but here’s Arash Markazi’s piece from SI.com on how just how sad (and lonely). “Much like a washed up pitcher that has lost his stuff, there is nothing more Canseco, who was turned away from the Mitchell Report press conference in December, can add to the steroids conversation besides old tales and hear-say he’s regurgitated for the past three years.,” Markazi writes. “He all but admits as much when talking about his plans for a third book, Prototype, a fictional tale of a baseball cloning conspiracy set in the future. ‘It’s going to be a dark sci-fi story,”‘says Canseco. “‘t’s certainly where we’re heading in baseball.’
Thanks, but I think I’ll wait for the movie to come out. Besides, didn’t they already cover this?
