Canseco wants immunity

Jose Canseco now wants immunity to testify before Congress...

Wait, isn't he the one who claims HE brought steroids into baseball? This would be like letting OJ get immunity to testify in his own defense at his trials, or Pete Rose asking for immunity to talk about gambling in baseball. Immunity is reserved for those who can help indictment of figures ABOVE in a criminal action, not below. While Sheffield, Bonds, and others have used steroids in the past (knowing or not), they weren't actively involved in introducing them to the sport, nor pushing them, nor, as Canseco claims, injected them into others.

Canseco has done a LOT of stupid things in his life -- domestic abuse with two spouses, losing bar fights with his meathead brother, blowing out his arm pitching, and attempting to field anything in right field. He was a borderline hall of famer on his batting stats and other offensive achievements, but his off-the-field behavior put him low on many lists. Canseco has been effectively blackballed by major league baseball, not by conspiracy, but by his own egotistical stupidity.

This is not the guy you want coaching your kid's Little League team -- or even coming to SPEAK to your Little League team. Heck, I think a sleepover at Michael Jackson's house would be more appealing.
