@coluber2001,
Neither did I so I googled the name. He used to play baseball, I then clicked on news and got this.

Quote:
Former major leaguer Jose Canseco has continued to sail off into the muddy skies of insanity, as he is promising that people who pay to spend time with him will meet a “real alien” and Bigfoot.

When last we visited former Oakland Athletics star Jose Canseco, he had decided to share his beliefs that aliens were teaching humanity how to travel through time. With concepts straight out of an H.P. Lovecraft story, Canseco proclaimed that the technology existed, at least in regards to those aliens, to send the brains of humanity through time and space. Of course, his claim that he himself had been in the future, and had seen the Super Bowl already, was proven wrong.

While there may be some doubt regarding Canseco and his treks through time, he promises that those aliens are real. In fact, if you spend the money to hang out with him, not only will you get to meet one of those aliens, but he also guarantees a Bigfoot sighting as well.

Sounds a lot more interesting than baseball, (or cricket for that matter.)

@izzythepush,
I always liked the guy when he played for the Texas Rangers, but he seems to have joined the Looney Tunes League. Maybe it has something to do with performance enhancing drugs or maybe getting hit on the head with a baseball once too often.

@coluber2001,
I had never heard of him prior to the google search. My knowledge of American sports stars begins and ends with those who have made guest appearances on The Simpsons, and Jo Di Maggio because he married Marilyn Monroe.

Did he try to pass the blame of testing positive for steroids on bug or mosquito bite? Some kind of false positive aspect to his drug testing?

Canseco was a notorious user of steroids.
He took steroids to get bigger.

You have to admit it’s pretty clever. My excuse is I don’t follow baseball.
