A controversial sports memoir adapted

Bit this one will be a little bit more controversial than most. Jose Canseco’s tell-all book Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant ‘Roids, Smash Hits And How Baseball Got Big follows his rise from a small-time farm team to Major League glory and his use of anabolic steroids.

Snow Days writer Kipp Marcus will adapt the book for Nine Yards Entertainment, though there’s no word on a cast or director yet.
