with how things are looking for the A's going to Vegas, there should be a documentary about all 3 Bay Area sports teams' greatness. Raiders, A's, Warriors
People can say what they want about steroids and baseball.. but all I know is these 2 were an absolute blast to watch growing up as a kid. They were literally larger than life.
That Oakland team of the late 80's / early 90's sure was intimidating. Rickey leading off, these two lumbering hulks, plus other guys like Hendu, Lansford and Steinbach. Opposing pitchers must have had serious anxiety facing that lineup! The swag, forearm bash celebrations etc. just added to their dominant image. Amazing they didn't win more.
Part of the reason they didn't win more then one WS was that they didn't have players that played with heart. They needed players like a Lou Piinella or Paul O' Neill who weren't flashy but were winners. The A's almost had to many superstars for their own good.
I remember that Canseco grand slam in the World Series. At that point, we all thought they were going to roll the Dodgers and then later that game Gibson ended the World Series in game one for the first time in history. As much as it pains me that we lost that series, I’m grateful for having witnessed that moment. In my opinion, it was the most remarkable and unbelievable moment in baseball history.
Watched that live as a 10 year old kid loving the A's. He did that in the ALCS. Rickey Henderson had just hit a home run in to the black backing at SkyDome and Canseco topped it with a home run I still honestly can't believe
firebird_SPLEEN you think its easy to hit a 97 mph fastball??? Juiced up or not if you cant hit and dont have talent you not even touching it... These guys were really good...
@@gringonewyork1994 steroids helps your hand eye coordination. I hit pitchers that fast in highschool. Faced 2 that threw that hard and hit em well. These guys are cheaters though. They were my favorites and my heroes when i was little, but finding out they cheated makes my childhood feel cheated. Real ball is the golden era not the steroid era
Because of the chase by McGwire and Sosa's in 98, ppl seem to forget that alot of other guys had awesome seasons in 98 as well. Canseco hit 46 with toronto. Bonds had close to 40 and almost did 30/30 again, griffey had what 56, Bagwell, albert belle had what 48 or so... and others all had great years too. 1998 was a fun season to watch overall, not just the chase. 1998 was everything that 1994 was shaping to be before the strike.
Couldn’t agree with you more. I’ll bet viewership and attendance was VERY high compared to almost any other year in the 90s and 00s. I had almost forgotten about Griffey’s (without PEDs) crazy season that year. He was an absolute beauty with what is probably the best swing in baseball all-time. No other player in the history of the game compares to mid-90s KG jr. ⚾️💪🏼
My buddy was the one with that McGwire’s Mark sign for game three of the World Series where he hit the walk off. I didn’t notice it at the time, but when I went to see him after the game, he showed it to us. We were in awe of him.
You can't have a highlight compilation of Jose Canseco without including his best play, the off the top of the head home run when he was with the Rangers
Was in college at the time in the Bay Area. Really takes me back to that time of life. Unique, special time. The A’s where fun. Glad the won at least one WS.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 Mitchell and Clark finished 1 and 2 in MVP votes in 1989! That same season, Dave Stewart, Mike Moore and Eck were all in the top voting for Cy Young award! Great teams, great players for both SF and OAK!
Such a great time you guys decided to do it again 30 years later albeit with the orange and black and blue and gold winning the titles(6 in 10 years. 3 giants, 3 warriors with additional finals appearances by the 49'ers and sharks)
Sorry, but great hitters combine power with average, or with high average alone. McGwire's .263 BA and Canseco's .266 hardly make them great hitters. Great "power" hitters? I will give you that, for that is pretty much all they did. Well, Canseco could hit doubles a bit. McGwire, on the other hand hit less than half as many doubles as HR. 1 dimensional is what McGwire was.
+kyokogodai Maybe so, but McGwire averaged over two bases per hit for his entire career. Even Ted Williams couldn't do that. Babe Ruth just made it (though he hit 76 points higher than McGwire). Ted Williams - 1.84 bases per hit. Babe Ruth - 2.02 bases per hit. Mark McGwire - 2.24 bases per hit. McGwire didn't hit a lot of doubles because he was hitting home runs instead.
5:35 is the longest homer I've ever seen at a game in person. Even with the juice it still takes talent to hit a baseball that hard and that far. Unfortunately for McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, Palmeiro, Clemens, etc.. all of their accolades and achievements on the field will forever be tainted. But the game sure did prosper at the time because of it.
Hersheizer said “wow” after Mac connected too. He even admired it. They measured that one at 485 but that is VERY conservative. No one has come remotely close to hitting that sign since. Mike Napoli hit a long one near there in 2016 but it was still well below the scoreboard and 30-40 feet short of Mac’s. That homer was unreal.
I think Bo was another Hershal Walker - I don't believe Bo was on the juice. Bo - like Kobe & Hershal - had these super hero personas - on the athletic field - Like "Ricky" (Henderson) - though I might argue Ricky had sum juice.
More home runs per at bat than any player. Second is Babe Ruth. But, I have to give it to The Babe, since he wasn't using performance enhancing drugs. 5/22/24, 10:31 p.m.
Both Conseco and McGwire stood 6-5 and weighed 250 pounds. Two big musclehead monsters on the same team. Even though they were juiced, they were so good, it was scary.
I was lucky enough to get to see a ton of McGwire HRs when he played for the Cardinals at old Busch Stadium. Even was there for #62, which had to be the shortest one he hit there. Saw hundreds of games in the 80's & 90's and never saw anyone hit one in the upper deck until he got to town. He hit HRs where nobody else did before he got here or after he left.
I’m just marveling at the fact of how unsafe stadiums seemed to be those days. They all look as if they are in disrepair, and on the verge of collapse.
Christopher Martinez THE worst thing about it was when McGwire broke Roger’s record. The Maris family came out to the game to be there in a brave show of class; big Mc went over for hugs with them; their tears flowed; and, in going along with the charade, most egregiously, he disgraced EVERYBODY.
These guys were like gods to me when I was a child. It’s insane though if you watch the first couple mins when they were born on Oakland McGwire was like a normal sized dude. Than one season dude just becomes a tank. At one point they both got to damn big, but man I wish these guys in their prime were in mlb the show
Exactly. Juice doesn’t help you hit a 98 mph cut fastball that breaks different every pitch. Especially when you don’t know what’s coming. It’s one thing to figure out pitchers and to have runners figure out signs during a game but to have pre conceived knowledge and knowing what’s coming every pitch is pussy.
@@ronpaulssecretary didn’t know they had that camera technology 100 years ago to where they knew what every single pitch of the game was going to be. If a runner or batter can pick up signs that’s different. Go back to your grandmas basement and stfu.
@@ronpaulssecretary they're both called "cheating"...but you like one and despise the other. That's why I say that Astros shouldn't even feel sorry...For idiots like you!
When baseball was exciting, juice or not. I love how the pichers have that look of non belief when they see their ball crushed or how the announcers don't even know what do say but "oh my" or oh "goodness" never seen balls get up out of there faster than when the 2 guys were playing.
“Why does Will Clark play first base? Because he can’t run. If he could run, he’d be in the outfield. The best athletes are in the outfield." - Jose Canseco 7/1990. Baseball needs more personalities who are allowed to speak their mind.
Remember when Canseco was running towards the wall to TRY and catch a deep fly, the ball bounced off his head and over the wall for a HR. He was awful defensively but no one had his bat speed back then. Although Gary Sheffield's bat speed was off the chain also.
9:13 I was watching that live when it happened (along with millions of others, no doubt). That homerun has to be the fastest a ball has ever left a yard. It’s barely 2 seconds. 🔥😳🤯
I was in the minors in 98 and i assure you there shitloads of big leaguers juiced up and a nice chunk of minor leaguers too- see scott Proctor of the Yankees. Played with him. Not right to say he wouldn't have been shit. The 1st player to go 40/40. Just would gave crushed a few less homers and mayve not as far but the guy was a stud
No matter what people say about Jose Canseco taking steroids and ratting everyone out, he was still a great baseball player. Ok, yes steroids does give you extra power but, it doesn't make you see the ball any better. I don't think he needed steroids cause he was already a big guy. Just him lifting weights would've been enough but, he ruined his career and reputation and many other players reputations.
What's interest about both of them is that their swings are all upper body strength. Their lower bodies are relatively still. This allowed them to catch up to fast balls easier because their swings were brief and uncomplicated requiring less precise timing; they could react quicker. But it also means you need more upper body strength in order to drive the ball hard. A smaller hitter needs their lower body to generate power.
Attended many a game at the Coliseum...Navy got in for half price...half the time I had no idea who was playing, as we were hammered in the parking lot beforehand. Fun times.
I wish it were on film somewhere (someone must have it) but Canseco was a late season call-up. His first home run at the Coliseum completely cleared the bleachers and hit the concession stands wall behind them. Never seen anyone do that. That got everyone's attention.
I don't care what there on, you still have to hit the ball and still put the ball in play. Jose has a tremendous bat speed even before the juice. I miss MLB WHEN IT WAS FUN TO WATCH. How boring now
The earthquake really overshadowed the WS between the A’s and the Giants. Just remembered the earthquake in candlestick and then then series became kind of a blur...Mainly remember Stewarts heroics and surprisingly more of the Giants like Clark...
2:50 People don't talk that other aspect of Canseco's game very much...dude was a GREAT baserunner, just as good as his famous power. He could've gone stealing 30-40 bases a season every year if he so desired.

Agreed, I had posters of them on my wall. I tried to mimic their swings (and Rickey Henderson's). That A's team of the late 80's was awesome!!
infntnub I completely agree
Agreed. McGwire was like a superhero to me as a kid
I agree,people who don’t know baseball don’t realize Mac hit 49 bombs as a skinny little rookie in 87. Several over 450ft.
They didn't start until later in their careers, if I'm not mistaken. So their first few years were legit.
That Oakland team of the late 80's / early 90's sure was intimidating. Rickey leading off, these two lumbering hulks, plus other guys like Hendu, Lansford and Steinbach. Opposing pitchers must have had serious anxiety facing that lineup! The swag, forearm bash celebrations etc. just added to their dominant image. Amazing they didn't win more.
Part of the reason they didn't win more then one WS was that they didn't have players that played with heart. They needed players like a Lou Piinella or Paul O' Neill who weren't flashy but were winners. The A's almost had to many superstars for their own good.
YESIIIRRR! That's, when I became a fan.
@naz de Except in the 1988 World Series, when Kirk Gibson.......never mind.
Dave Stewart on the mound. That team should have won four or five WS.
And Dave Henderson.

I don't care what these two might have put in their bodies. They sure made baseball fun to watch growing up as a young boy in the 1980's and 1990's.
U damn right. I miss it and it is missed badly by fans

“Why does Will Clark play first base? Because he can’t run. If he could run, he’d be in the outfield. The best athletes are in the outfield." - Jose Canseco 7/1990. Baseball needs more personalities who are allowed to speak their mind.
100% in agreement with you Henry, Jose just stated what owners knew all along, his book "Juiced" is exciting.
Baseball needs more players that grew up in the United States and speak English, the game isn't the same.
Remember when Canseco was running towards the wall to TRY and catch a deep fly, the ball bounced off his head and over the wall for a HR. He was awful defensively but no one had his bat speed back then. Although Gary Sheffield's bat speed was off the chain also.

"And look where he hit it. Over the center field fence, a line drive. It didn't get up, it didn't get down, it just got out". 😆
THEY CALL ME JOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
and im mark.
2:50 People don't talk that other aspect of Canseco's game very much...dude was a GREAT baserunner, just as good as his famous power. He could've gone stealing 30-40 bases a season every year if he so desired.
@01:45 That upper deck shot by Canseco is sick.
He murdered that ball
truth is more pitchers juiced, than position players during this era..
Lol
Wow 😯... look at all those old school baseball logos on the wall in Toronto.
thx for the post
Canseco starts to pimp the home run before he even makes contact
I loved watching the Bash Brothers. I forgot that Canseco played for the Blue Jays.
He played for the Yankees and the Devil Ray's as well...
Back in the good old days
I loved the Boston outfielder took one step and then said to himself that I won't have a chance to get this one as it went almost 400 feet.
Put all players on juice, make baseball great again
Putting all professional athletes on juice would improve any sport. But it's not legal and it's very unhealthy.
Is that circle at 2:35 right next to the base path supposed to be the on deck circle?
