I find it hard to believe it's coincidence that his little story about A-Rod happened to come out about the same time as his book. Bet that's reflected in sales.
That makes sense. It also makes sense for a guy with serious insider information to not blow it all out in one book. Piecemeal it, and he makes more money.

I didn't bring it up because I think or care either way about what ARod (or Ortiz) did or does, but with Canseco's track record on the subject, it's unfair to call anyone stupid for suggesting it. Although, it is kind of fun to ruffle the feathers of Fanboy #1.
