Jose can you see?

He’s a caricature of a baseball player. He should be in Marvel Comics. His comic book name; The Latin Nim Rod. He could get to crime scene long after the other super heroes and ask everyone, “Hey guys, What’s up? Want to buy some fuzzy dice?”

He was never considered a brilliant man, but he was, at one time, thought of as a super baseball player.

Before we knew about steroids in baseball, or perhaps before we cared to know, Canseco was the prototype player of the future.

He was a brick S*** house of a man. He stood at the plate like a Greek God, Bat poised like a lightning bolt to crush a piece of rawhide into oblivion.

As he warmed up in the on deck circle, his muscles danced under his uniform. Men looked at him and wished they could be him. Women in the stands wrote their phone numbers on their programs and threw them onto the field.

When he swung, a gush of wind filled the stadium and the ball left the yard, having to radio the tower for a fly by.

In his day, Jose Canseco was DA MAN!

Now he is DUH JOKE.

According to the New York post, Jose Canseco recently said he would like to fight Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.

Canseco is now a celebrity boxer. That’s a term like military intelligence. It’s an anomaly.

At the weigh-in of his most recent bout, reporters asked him which current player he would most like to fight.

Canseco, whose brain gives pork chops a run for its money, said this:

“Who would I love to fight the most, if I could pick a baseball player? Alex Rodriguez, get your [butt] in the ring, I’ll beat you to a pulp. That lying little idiot, I’d like to get him in the ring.”

For all his faults, Canseco is nothing if not candid. He has written books where he has accused everyone whose helmet is a size too small of doing performance enhancing drugs. Initially his accusations were met with contempt, now they have proven to contain more truth than bluster.

Canseco called Rodriguez out. At first he lied. But then, the 1/4 billion dollar ball player half heartedly admitted that he did use a banned substance. He talked about it sheepishly like a 3rd grader who chewed gum after his mommy told him not to.

Canseco’s words were not angry, just honest. He wants to get Alex Rodriguez in the ring and pummel him. Before this season, when he finally lived up to the 250-million dollar contract he signed, a lot of Yankee fans probably felt the same way.

Rodriguez is dating Kate Hudson today and living a life that only people who sell their souls to the devil get to lead.

Canseco is preparing to get hit in the face over and over and over, in the hot bed of boxing, SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.

And that is crazy.
