'It is a huge Advantage knowing what pitch is coming if I had a choice between using Peds and knowing was Pitch was coming I would pick knowing what Pitch was coming,' Jose Canseco tweeted in response to the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal from 2017.
Retired Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco knows a little something abut hitting home runs. He and Mark McGwire became known as the"Bash Brothers" for their long-ball prowess in their days with the Oakland A's. They also both became two of the most prominent faces in baseball's steroids era.
Canseco won a World Series with the A's in 1989 when they defeated the San Francisco Giants, and he was eventually traded to the Boston Red Sox in 1994 before journeying around the league before retirement in 2002. It alleged how certain prominent players in the league rose to stardom by juicing up with PEDs, including Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez, Ivan Rodriguez and Jason Giambi.
The MLB investigation began after former Astros player Mike Fiers came forward last November to say his team used electronic sign-stealing during that season's World Series championship run. None of the Astros players were punished, and the suspended managerial staff were all fired by the Astros.
