{"product_id":"9780060746414","title":"Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big","description":"\u003ci\u003eOne of the most electrifying and controversial athletes ever to step        onto the baseball diamond shares the untold story of his rise to fame and        fall from grace, including a never-before-seen look behind the curtains        into the history, dangers, truths, and lies about baseball's dark secret:        steroids.\u003c\/i\u003e         \u003cp\u003e           When Jose Canseco burst into the Major Leagues in the 1980s, he           changed the sport-in more ways than one. No player before him           possessed his mixture of speed and power, which allowed him to become           the first man in history to belt 40+ home runs and swipe 40+ bases in           the same season. He won the Rookie of the Year, the MVP award, and a           World Series ring. He was a dynamo on the field, and a magnet for           trouble off it. From his frequent run-ins with police, to his wild and           often highly public love life, Canseco broke the mold of the big-time           athlete and ushered in a new era of super-athletes with outrageous           salaries and rock-star lifestyles. But behind the gaudy stats and the           glitz and glamour of his public life, Canseco cultivated a dark           secret, one that would alter the game of baseball and the way we view           our heroes forever. Canseco made himself a guinea pig of the           blossoming performance-enhancing drugs movement that was only just           beginning to take hold in Major League Baseball. Anabolic steroids,           human growth hormones-Canseco mixed, matched, and experimented to such           a degree that he became known throughout the league as \"The Chemist.\"           He passed his knowledge on to trainers and fellow players, and before           long performance-enhancing drugs were running rampant throughout the           league.        \u003c\/p\u003e        \u003cp\u003e           Today, this issue has crept out of the closet and burst into the           headlines as players balloon to herculean proportions and           hundred-year-old records are not just broken, but demolished. In this           shocking autobiography, Canseco sheds light on a life of dizzying           highs and debilitating lows-and also provides the answers to questions           about steroids and the Major Leagues that millions of sports fans are           only now beginning to ask.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026560237808,"sku":"9780060746414","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060746414_p0.jpg?v=1763766978","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060746414","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
