Thanks for looking that up before I had a chance to.

Of course, the first chart said "Meets Canseco" not "Teammate of. . ." I've not read JUICED; does Jose allege they met and become drug using buddies before the trade?

In any event, look at the numbers for the years after they were teammates:

1991 26 TEX 26
1992 27 TEX 22 Canseco joins the Rangers in August
1993 28 TEX 37 15 more bombs
1994 29 BAL 23 Strike shortened season--on pace for 37 again?
1995 30 BAL 39 Over 40 a year from here out--juiced baseball or player?
1996 31 BAL 39
1997 32 BAL 38
1998 33 BAL 43
1999 34 TEX 47
2000 35 TEX 39
2001 36 TEX 47
2002 37 TEX 43
