As part of a new A&E documentary, Jose Canseco tells the cameras that he wishes he didn’t write his New York Times-bestselling tome, Juiced, which told the tale of an innocent Cuban-American baseball player from Miami turned into a horrible, self-absorbed asshole by the steriods pushed on him by MLB’s inner circle. But he was so angry at the “baseball powerbrokers” that pushed him out of the game he loved that he wanted to get revenge, a sort of literary ‘roid rage if you will. Now, three years after he basically broke Major League Baseball, it’s time for the intervention and confession, and where else better to have it than on A&E? Maybe Benjamin Bratt will make an appearance!

“The biggest mistake I made was, I should have not written (the book),” Canseco said. “The more I think about it, the more I regret mentioning these players in my book”… Canseco wrote in “Juiced” that he injected Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez and Ivan Rodriguez with steroids.

The disclosures are part of “Jose Canseco: The Last Shot,” a one-hour documentary airing Monday night on A&E. The program followed Canseco this summer through a trail of health, financial and personal setbacks and notes his Oct. 9 arrest for trying to smuggle a female fertility drug across the Mexican border.

Ah yes, right after the deathbed repentance comes the repentance you want to share once you’ve gotten busted trying to cross the border with female fertility drugs. The funny part is you really want to die after either one.
