Jose Canseco calls out PED 'hypocrisy' in Hall of Fame voting

Jose Canseco called out Hall of Fame voters for their 'hypocrisy' surrounding PED usage in baseball.

Canseco a noted former PED user who famously tried to out several of his peers in his book, went on a Twitter rant Wednesday after it was announced that Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez and Tim Raines would make up this year’s class.
