The embodiment of speed and power, he was the first player in Major League history to steal forty bases and hit forty home runs in a single season.

But Canseco also harbored one of Major League Baseball's darkest secrets: steroids. In "Juiced," he comes clean about this wild past, sharing the unbelievable truth about baseball's steroid addiction and how this onetime taboo has spread to every locker room in the big leagues.
