This I didn’t know about. ::Revises oppinion from “Attractive Fruitcake” to “Pond Scum Who Should Spend Significant Amounts of His Future in Prison”::

Exactly!! That’s it exactly! That’s the reaction that led me to start this thread!

Many years ago, when Canseco was still playing for the Oakland A’s, he was in the outfield of Fenway Park. The Red Sox fans were chanting,  
STE-roid! STE-roids! STE-roids!" from the stands.

And, rather than let the crowd antagonize him, Canseco held up his arm, and starting flexing his bicep to the rhythm of the chant!

Even the Sox fans seemed to get a huge kick out of that!
