So there’s a Boston Dirt Dogs claim that Nomar will be “named” in the new Canseco book. Named as in named as a user of steroids, or named as in just mentioned? I don’t know, but I need more evidence than that SI cover, and that’s speaking as a non-Nomar fanboy. And Canseco has shot (ahem) his credibility to the point that what he says gets taken with a huge grain of salt.
Tangential story: since I was talking about commentary tracks, if you watch the Simpsons Season 3 DVD with the commentary on, in the “Homer at the Bat” episode they talk about how all the ballplayers (yup, even the supposedly terse and tetchy Clemens and Boggs) were a joy to work with, except for “one whose name rhymes with Manseco”. The Cansecos objected to the plot where he has an affair with Mrs Krabappel, IIRC, but the commentary seems to imply he was more of a pain than just that.
Edit: as suspected, “Nomar to be named” just meant “Nomar will be named as a teammate of Canseco’s”. Disingenuous.
