| Plot Summary of Juiced |
|---|
" Canseco says he wrote this book because he wants the fans to listen to him and hear him out on what he has to say about baseball and the state of the sport today. He shares how player Bret Boone suspiciously bulked up and went from making $3.25 million to $8 million a year as a reason why many players use steroids. He does seem to champion “responsible” and “careful” steroid use, but he recently claimed to no longer feel that way after having to testify before the House Government Reform Committee.
