When all else fails, just sue 'em!


Canseco's new venture

lsutigers1973

<< <i>Jose Canseco plans to file a class-action lawsuit against Major League Baseball and the players’ association, saying he’s been ostracized for going public with tales of steroids use in the sport. >>



Ostracized? His main source of income the last 3 or 4 years has been from books exposing the juicers.

Plus, what do ostriches have to do with Canseco?

Lawsuits are serious business. I'm Canseco will file in federal court. In which case, the defendants are sure to file a motion to dismiss. It that motion doesn't get granted and the matter goes to trial and/or before a jury, I would be nervous as a defendant.

So, is he going to sue the BBWAA as well? MLB doesn't vote for HoFers, the BBWAA does. Blegh.

Just another chapter in the ever growing book: "My Life as an Idiot - by Jose Canseco"

As a lawyer I think this makes for a very interesting case. I actually think there is a case. I don't know if it's a class action though as that would need more plaintiffs with the same problems. I see this as an individual case since he was clearly blackballed. The problem is figuring who the defendants are. I think you have to sue MLB, players assoc, each team, each gm, baseball writers of America, and every baseball writer. Crazier lawsuits have had success!

Well, he did get 6 votes for the Hall of Fame back in 2007, so not everyone was in on the "fix."

Canseco and will clark are my favorite players back into 80s. I feel so sorry for that guy, looks like he's desperate for cash now.

Back around 5 yrs ago Zardoz ran a Jose thing about how Canseco felt he should be in the HOF - here's my ode I wrote - it was a contest of sorts that went nowhere.

Ode to Jose Can-you-see Me in the Hall

Forget Pete Rose! Hey look at me,
For years been on a hittin' spree.
I've carried teams upon my back,
I am the Best, not talkin' smack.

I'm big, I'm buff, 'roids made me tuff,
If all those homers ain't enough,
I'm loved by women large and small,
My Bust's a must in the Cooperstown Hall.

Whenever I want, a base I steal,
I'm a 40/40 and that's for real.
Jose Can-you-see, I'm 10 feet tall,
My Bust's a must in the Cooperstown Hall.

I've got the goods, I've got the look,
I'm not just pretty, I've got a Book.
I'm quick, I'm fast, I never fall,
My Bust's a must in the Cooperstown Hall.

But just remember, when you vote this fall,
Forget balls bouncing over the wall.
Vote for me, or I'll tell all,
My Bust's a must in the Cooperstown Hall,
My Bust's a must in the Cooperstown Hall.

Ripped an 86 Donruss Wax box recently. Not one O'Neill, Canseco, McGriff or Fielder RC. Six Lance McCullers RC's.
