I met Jose playing pick up water volleyball games at a hotel in Hawaii, back in the early 90s. He had recently been chosen MVP. I think he was with his first wife. He made it fun, while playing to win just as he did in baseball. I was on his team and he was encouraging and funny, and made you feel like you were a real part of a team. He was never an elitist. He was real. Jose, you are the best. Thank you for being you.

[@steveowens913]

I'm a major reader. I study health, and for one, I always want to do what's good for me and my human body, both short term and long term. One of the studies has been that of anabolic steroids. " They are bad for you, ...and they will kill you!" I'm 72 years old now. Some super famous bodybuilders and actors have taken lots of steroids, or pde's, whatever we want to call them. The idea is to take ANYTHING that you put into your human body as a MED. As in a Minimum EFfective Dose, and not 10x as much, not 50x as much, but not twice as much either! THAT is what goes Against your body, your health, and your life.

It doesn't change anything. They are all scumbag NE patriot cheaters. The fact that those who lied and still lie had have no intention of ever telling the truth, well that's what sets the one turd from the bowl. Just like Lance with his axl rose shorts, rule breaking scum. He didn't sell books from this interview to the tune of 10s of thousands. Lol no way. It's 2021-2 people don't by books they watch shit like this. His last book was published 10+ yrs ago and it's worth pointing out the commission on p.e.d. in MLB published a report that named all the same people aside from the 2 jose named in vindicated published after the report and he claimes was to correct the record of that report. The people he named that wound up in court, they all admitted to it under oath. That's pretty telling. Not one slander suit.. So I don't really get where your coming from.
