Beyond a shadow of a doubt.  It's obvious just by looking at pictures of him 10 years ago and now side by side.  He should be banned from baseball.

I have to say that I agree with the allegations that he did use steroids. ESPN the Magazine just had a story about him with a picture of him in '93 and one of him recently. Same pose (stretching before going to bat with the bat over his head). He didn't even look like the same person. However, I'm still undecided on whether or not he was aware that he was using steroids. But, it seems to me that'd be kind of hard not to realize that you're getting that much bigger that fast. On the other hand, you still have to have some talent and hand-eye coordination to make contact with the ball. So, it's not like steroids were the only thing that have propelled him to third all-time in HRs. There's talent there, too. But, I love the Giants and I love watching Barry play. I'm glad he's so close to the HR second place record and I hope he breaks Ruth's second place record and comes back again next year. His agent said that he expects him to return next year, just not sure for what team...be a DH in the AL or continue to play for the Giants? I think everyone should just lay off him, though, and let the man play baseball...for goodness sakes' it's just a sport...and, Ruth and Mantle, etc. weren't all exactly saints either...

News: Albert Pujols took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran hard in the outfield Tuesday. The Cardinals' star is getting closer to returning as he recovers from a strained oblique muscle suffered June 3. Pujols might be able to come off the DL in time for the Cardinals' weekend interleague series in Detroit. "He's stepping up the program. Everything so far, he's feeling good," manager Tony La Russa said, adding Pujols was not in any pain. "He'll keep stepping it up until he's game-ready. But there is a conditioning factor now, too. It's not just getting his legs in shape and his arm in shape, there is a lot to get ready."\n\nAnalysis: Keep Pujols reserved until the weekend at least, but he could return to lineups thereafter. That's great news for his owners at this point, but there's still a few rivers for his oblique to cross.\n\nDon't you love it when jack-holes like the 2 idiots above post stupid answers?

Good question Patz!:)\n\nI know near to nothing about baseball but like your idea for this question!\n\nLet's say we're talking about football(soccer): I don't change my mind about a player's behavior unless he changes his behavior,not the team he is playing at,even if it happens to be my favorite one! I can say:this guy is a great player,but I have no respect for him as a man!\n\nAnd I very much prefer a good man who doesn't play that much than a football genius who's not worth a cent as a man.

This is not me, it's a friend. This actually led him to quit coaching. My friend was one of the good coaches, he let EVERYONE play. He took this kid out one day, who was good, when his team was ahead to let the not-so-athletic kid play an inning. The MOTHER of the good kid came off the stands, started screeching at him (the kids were about 9) in front of the whole game, and when he told her he was the coach, she actually swung at him, and made contact.  He had a swollen jaw for days.

Does anyone really care? I mean the drama king of baseball would do all of us a favor if he retired. What an example he is setting for young people: waiting to see who might be a winner before he decides, as though winning were the most important thing. I am a Red Sox fan and truly hope he NEVER pitches again for the Boston Red Sox. He has always been a money grubber and has demonstrated that his loyalty is to Roger and only Roger. Frankly, I am sick of such prima donnas, Clemens being the worst ever. Too bad too, because he was a great pitcher.

Come on!  Don't you think it's possible the man made an error?  Baseball players make them EVERYDAY!  Surely you've messed up at some point in your life.  His error was just a very costly one.

1 word. amamzing\n\ni went to a game last june. rangers vs. red sox. the sox were losing in the bottom of the ninth and you know who hit the walk off dinger. words cant explain what the atmosphere was like after he hit it. it is something i will never forget. i just remember everyone was standing up and cheering as soon as big papi stepped up. and after he hit it there was a constant stading ovation for like another 10 minutes after he hit it. no one wanted to leave. everyone wanted to soke in the moment. \n\n\njerry remi: "BIG PAPI DOES IT AGAIN!!!!! THE RED SOX WIN!!!!!!"\n\n\ngood stuff....

[AP Wire]\n\nSAN DIEGO -- Jose Canseco returned to baseball Thursday when he agreed to a contract with the independent San Diego Surf Dawgs, planning to be their designated hitter and -- get this -- pitch.\n\nThe Golden Baseball League announced the deal Thursday night, saying the former AL MVP and Rookie of the Year will make his Surf Dawgs debut Monday night on the road against the Chico Outlaws.\n\nCanseco will make his debut at 10:05 ET on July 3.\n\nCanseco's return to baseball comes some 19 months after he attracted Congress' attention with an autobiography, "Juiced," that accused several top players of steroid use.\n\nIn March 2005, he testified before the House Government Reform committee that he used performance-enhancing drugs as a player.\n\nCanseco didn't immediately return a message left on his cell phone.\n\nThe news release announcing the deal said Canseco will be the DH "and will showcase his knuckleball as a member of the team's pitching staff."\n\nCanseco made one big league pitching appearance, working the final inning for the Texas Rangers in a 15-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on May 29, 1993. He walked the bases loaded and allowed three runs and two hits. He threw 12 strikes and 21 balls, most of which were far from the strike zone.\n\nCanseco will be playing for the league maximum of $2,500 per month.\n\n"We strive to provide a high quality entertainment product, and Jose will undoubtedly be entertaining for our fans," GBL president Amit Patel said in a statement.\n\nThe GBL is essentially baseball's lowest rung. Rickey Henderson played for the Surf Dawgs last year as he tried to attract the attention of a big league team.\n\nCanseco hasn't played in the big leagues since 2001 with the Chicago White Sox, who purchased his contract from the independent Newark Bears.\n---------------------------------------------------\n\nDon't bank on a cup of coffee coming his way.
