Newspaper Article
BASEBALL: CANSECO VINDICATED
2009
Overview
This one came from former Rangers General Manager Tom Grieve, who acquired [Jose Canseco] from the Oakland A's in 1992. This was Grieve's response to Canseco's reported allegations, in a book set for a Monday release, that the slugger used steroids with Texas teammates, including Rafael Palmeiro and Pudge Rodriguez: Instead, Grieve called Canseco \"an embarrassment to baseball and an embarrassment to his family,\" who is \"nothing more than a caricature.\" Grieve disputed Canseco's claim that then-majority Rangers owner George W. Bush knew: \"If anybody should have known about it, it should have been me. Not George Bush.\" Still, isn't it possible Grieve and Bush just didn't know? And shouldn't all executives have been more aware? Didn't we all know, by 1992, that athletes had used steroids? Hadn't we seen a sickly Lyle Alzado on the Sports Illustrated cover on July 7, 1991, months before dying of brain cancer? Would it have been out of line to ask players sprouting Popeye arms? To make a public case, if the union kept obstructing?
