When Jose Canseco shunned strip club temptations to keep tabloids at bay

In his book "Juiced," Jose Canseco wrote about the strip clubs that baseball players frequently visited. Baseball players usually had a lot of fun at these clubs. Every city had a good strip club where all the ballplayers would hang out.

He also claimed to have fondled a girl there but was too terrified of being caught to try anything more daring because he knew cameras would be present. He reasoned that hooking up with a stripper before heading home was far from preferable.

He wrote, "I may have fondled a girl in there, but I was always too scared that there would be cameras around to try anything more serious."
