Smith: Former MLB pro takes stabs at players' credibility
Continued from page 9A
helping save baseball or maybe Mac or
Sammy (Sosa) for the great home run
chase of 1998. Well, you already know
about the steroids I gave Mac ... but
also, I helped keep Cal’s streak alive.”
According to Canseco, Ripken gave
him a call and asked if he would beat
up Kevin Costner because the actor
was hitting on Ripken’s wife and Rip
ken didn’t want to break his hand.
“Since Cal is such a great guy,”
Canseco writes, “I did just that. It’s
pretty easy to rough somebody up
when you’re in the middle of a ‘roid
rage, so I just injected myself before
my little meeting with Mr. Costner.”
That legacy? Wow. How is he not in
the Hall of Fame already? Isn’t there a
Kevin Costner clause in there some
where, allowing for automatic entry
into Cooperstown?
I do admit that I have not read the
entire book. I did not play with
Canseco. The closest I got to the
Major Leagues was some high
school baseball memories and ticket
stubs to Seattle Mariners games. So
can I personally relate? Do I have
insider knowledge?
No.
But more importantly, why should I
believe a word that comes out of
Canseco’s mouth when he admitted to
steroid use, has been arrested and has
sold tickets to spend a day with him
under house arrest?
Maybe I shouldn’t, and maybe we
are supposed to take this with a
tongue-in-cheek attitude.
But the thing is, there are steroids in
baseball, so his statements come from
some base of truth, and because
Canseco was one of the first players to
officially admit to using steroids, he
doesn’t want to be alone.
If Canseco is going to go down in
the flames of steroids and cheating,
then he is going to grab onto as many
ankles as he can and take them with
him — and not only just for steroid-re
lated issues.
It’s the whole “blaze of glory” thing.
And it just keeps making that lega
cy look even better.
So if he wants his statements to be
taken seriously, fine, I can do that, but
just know that I have wiped out the
Jose Canseco entry from the baseball
almanac in my head.
The only thing I will remember is
probably the best play of Canseco’s ca
reer, when a certain Texas Ranger right
fielder used his head as a glove and
took a fly ball off a steroid-filled dome.
Way to go, Canseco, way to go.
It’s just funny that Canseco’s factu
al/fictional repentance comes roughly
around the time of Lent.
All I can hope for is that this thing
gets put in the fiction section of the
local bookstore.

Club: Fencing team successful at Grand Open tournament
Continued from page 9A
division two epee competition by
defeating Taylor Moore of the
Northwest Fencing Club, 15-8. The
bout with Moore was the closest
match of the weekend for Leary,
who dominated throughout the
competition, according to head
coach Adam Lake.
“Joe did an excellent job of stick
ing to the basics,” Lake said. “He
fenced at a level I have never seen
him accomplish before.”
Teammate Evan Cooley finished the
weekend in eighth place. Abram
Goodstein and Tiffany LeBrun finished
11th and 13 th respectively.
In the division two foil competition,
Robbie Teel placed 12th.
“Our conditioning was not as it
should be, but as a whole, everyone
was moving well,” Lake said. “It
was great to see all of the hard work
pay off.”
Sailing makes it to finals
The Oregon Club sailing team ad
vanced to the championship round of
a team racing regatta hosted by Port
land State University this weekend, but
a lack of wind forced a cancellation of
the final round.
The Ducks, facing Portland State,
Lewis and Clark, Western Washington
and other sailors from the Portland
area, finished in the top four to claim a
spot in the championship before the
weekend was prematurely ended.
According to head coach Rob Dubuc
III, the experience of team racing will
be invaluable in the future.
“I was pretty pleased,” Dubuc said.
“We made a lot of mistakes, but we
were all pretty positive.
“This is going to help us in the
spring when we do more team racing. ”
Oregon travels to Bellingham to face
Western Washington next weekend for
an individual-style race.
