Former Major League Baseball slugger Jose Canseco, who wrote the book "Juiced" on steroid users in MLB, had strong reactions to Wednesday's announcement of the 2017 National Baseball Hall of Fame class.
Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez were selected, which left Canseco in disbelief on Twitter:
It's a great day for the hypocrisy of the Hall of Fame voting induct all that used Peds or induct none

How it's not Mark McGwire Sammy Sosa Roger Clemens Rafael palmeiro not in the Hall of Fame that is a travesty

And definitely bonds should be in the Hall of Fame are you kidding me that is disgusting

Canseco was teammates with Rodriguez in Texas and alleged in "Juiced" that he personally injected the catcher with steroids. Canseco also played with Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmiero, both of whom failed to get elected by the writers in part because of their connections with PEDs.
