Exclusive: Jose Canseco puts on a show in Rockford, mashing home runs into the Rock River 

He’s amazing. After everything he’s been through he’s still standing and delivering

😮 i can't believe he's FIFTY NINE YEARS OLD!! WOW!!! I remember watching him as a kid and I'm gonna be 46 soon. Damn time flies!

I love Canseco! he is a great interview.

I see he's still humble as always... ;-)

Who can hit a softball 500 ft at 59? Nobody, including Jose Canseco.

How can You not like this guy? When I was a kid, growing up in the Bronx, it was all about baseball. So many kids watch stuff like Batman and Spider-Man. To Me, Jose Canseco was a superhero!

Still love you Jose. Thanks for the great memories!

I'll never forget when he aided a homerun over the fence by taking a fly ball off the top of his head lol.

I remember being 11 years old at an A's game back in 1988 during batting practice and Canseco walking towards the dugout. I asked for his autograph and he said, "No Autographs." I felt letdown, but I got over it. I still appreciate Jose, despite what he's been through. I even saw a special on him that was depressing in regards to losing his mansion, people wanting to start fights with him, and being served a subpoena at a baseball game. I felt bad for this man. What he did happened a long time ago. He didn't murder anyone for crying out loud.

And yet they never show a flight of a ball after being hit. Kind of like never showing a plane flying when reporting from an air show. Strange.

His ego is firmly intact.

Totally awesome 👏

Que impresionante y honor tener a José Canseco pasando un buen día con los fans saludos y bendiciones desde Tijuana México

He definitely has not lost that ego. I would love to see McGwire challenge him.

Jose Canseco was a superstar in the 80s!

Don’t care what anyone says. A guy like Canseco was/is great for the entertainment which is MLB. Love the guy. 💪🏼

Love Canseco! Tells it like it is.

That's awesome. He's a good guy

I was sitting at an out door table having a drink in Coconut Grover Florida one night watching all the beautiful ladies walk by - and who do i see walking by - Canseco - this is like 1990 and he is in his prime - some girls stop him and there they are right in front of my table chatting away - thats how i will always remember him - time flies

In case anyone missed it, he’s 59 years old 😂

As a Toronto Blue Jays fan in the 80s and 90s, playing for the Oakland A's, he was the most feared batter in the lineup. Even ahead of Mark McGwire. Canseco was a beast. But, he was my favourite opposing player. I'd like Jose to hit 2 HRs against Toronto, with a Blue Jays victory back in the day.

Ran into Jose many years ago when he was with the A's. He was parked in a gas station with a flat tire on his Ferrari. Such a really cool dude to talk to.......

between him an Bo we were spoiled in the late 80s early 90s. The moon shot homeruns were amazing

I've personally seen Canseco in his prime in '87 hit balls damn near into orbit. It was something epic that I've never seen from any other ball players

God bless you Jose. You and a few other guys are the reason I been an A’s fan since a child 💪🏻 LFG A’s

He got 4 and the current player (Rivets are collegiate summer league) got 5. For 59, that's pretty good to be close to the same level of power hitting as up and coming athletes. His performance at age 46 with Yuma was pretty incredible, he was probably one of the top 5 guys on the team, if not blackballed he might have had an epic length career like Nolan Ryan. I think he'd still be able to perform better than guys 20 years younger in an old timers game. I know he'd out perform me because I'm 20 years younger and trying to bring back what I had a year ago, hobbling around hoping my knees and elbows recover.

Eddie Murray was always my favorite player. Jose is the closest second. Thank you Jose for being a real one and an inspiration to all His wallet definitely says badmtfr on it.

Canseco is a legend!

That is cool to see him.he was a good baseball player back in the days 😊👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

this man deserves to be in the hall of fame. still a class act.

Big man, good to see he is well

One of the Best jose

40/40 club, Oakland A's used to have the best players on there team in the late 80's

As a Dodger fan 7 years old in 88' that bat wiggle and every at bat of Canseco absolutely put fear in our hearts

30 seconds in and noticed Jose is still as humble as he was in MLB.

I played Tournament Ball with Jose. We played together on a Team named Vegas Strong. When he gets a hold of a softball, he hits them farther then anyone I've ever played with.

Canseco is a credit to the game of baseball. Read his book and you will respect him over any other fake MLB player. Loved it when he joined the Jays!!!

One of my favourite players and I don’t care what he did. I don’t understand why people don’t like him. He’s no more a cheater than anyone else in that era

I remember the bash brothers. They had a tough lineup back in the day with him Ricky Henderson and Mark McGwire.

I’m all for it baseball 4eva!!!!!

Dude is still jacked. 💪🏻

I would pay pay per view prices to watch a softball homerun derby between Jose Canseco, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey, and Jim Thome at the age they are right now. That would really excite me!!!!

Good to see that some humility has crept in at his age

Wow it’s great to see all these years later….. Jose still loves juice.

Good for Jose Canseco! Very impressive at 59 years old.

Say what you will about the steroid issue. It still took the talent to get into the Major's and he had one of the best swings in baseball. He did what the other power hitters were doing at the time. The problem was, he and Mac both had strong work ethics and constantly competed against each other so it gave them both the fuel needed. Jose still owns the longest MLB home run. Nobody bring up Manny, Sammy, or Judge, all juiced. The games were more fun to watch then. The dude still does his daily workouts like he's on the roster.

This is fun.

So they moved the fence in so he can't hit it 500 ft. And the swing still looks rough as ever

One of my childhood baseball heroes

He was one of my favorites in NES RBI Baseball! 😂

I wanna know Jose’s reaction to the A’s possibly moving to Vegas?

I got several baseball cards from 1990...he was one my favorite with Oakland A's

He’s still got the juice 😂😂

Shout out to Fred Van Vleet, Rockford's finest!

40/40 baby!

Still the best bod to ever don an A's uniform!

Canseco is a legend ego and powerhitter the audience loved to watch and will continue into the future. Bash brother still lives. Love his personality. He changed Baseball. He literally took billions away from players, sponsors, etc in the MLB .Many were bold about cheating their way into Cooperstown with performance enhanced drugs.

Still modest as ever I see

He's 60 years old. My god after 46, 49, 52 it has to be real hard. Your losing everything, eyesight, strength and coordination because of weight gain .

Wow...guess he was never taught not to brag. Or, not to cheat.

Mr. 40-40

How is Jose’s old ass trying to call out Aaron judge 😂

Jose Canseco still got it.

That’s not a swing capable of 500ft.

The Juice is loose.

I remember the World Series game with the Dodgers. Jose hit a line drive over the centerfield fence and put a dent in the camera in centerfield. I think the ball was still on its way up. He tomahawk the ball. Luckily, Kirk Gibson, had an answer and the Dodgers won.

If all men were 6 feet 5 inches tall And weighed 235 pounds, hitting a baseball 400 feet over the fence for a home run would be very simple and common. Most 14 year Old boys can hit a base ball to 75 percent of the out field area with is about 375 feet with a fast pitch and a good metal bat. Even a small ball player can do this. This is the point Canseco can hit the long ball because he is a huge guy. Pete Rose played MLB baseball because he was a great baseball player. Size matters so much in physical competition. Especially sports.

Please sign with the Texas Rangers Jose, they'll do that deal.

So....he couldn't cut it.

so why are we polluting the river ? ❤

Definitely expected more 😂😂

Put him in The Hall of Fame....EVERYONE was on juice......even the PITCHERS

Dude was larger than life while I was growing up.

Regan Is 🔥 As F***

One of my favorite players oat

So is he doing the OCD blinking thing then or?

Is this Rockford Illinois?

He's still jacked at 59!

At 59 he's probably at 70% of his peak career power. For a former power hitter in the show that's enough to "go yard" in a big league park with batting practice fastballs but not much more. He ain't hitting nothing 500 feet anymore.

The GOAT!

Seeing Jose swing like that I don't think there's anyway possible he's hitting any softball over 500 feet. Better get him more of the juice to do that!

My man stays blinking

Bash brother ❤️

he was in the world series against the dodgers at the beginning of my 5th grade year. the whole school in santa barbara, ca was a buzz when canseco took on the dodgers. he did well, but alas, the dodgers won the series.

Still Juicing. Hell ya! Steroid Era 👉 life. 😤

I am from the Bay Area and when the smash brothers were in their prime, they were the biggest douche bags when they came to autograph didn’t even look at the fans could care less that I’ll never forget

Go Jose'!!!

@ zackhample you should go to a rivets game

WHO!!

Canseco is like the Trump of baseball.

Shows that regardless of talent level, AGE will always bring you down

He should have gotten in better shape for this.

Cool

Jose Canseco's demons still live with him. He has to be in the limelight; he has to be the one. That's what Larussa had to put up with. When he pulled the plug on Jose, Jose pulled the plug on baseball. The rest is history, but not for Jose. He's still up to his old tricks. He's a talent no doubt, but it comes with a caveat.

Get Jose, Bonds, Rose, Roger, McGwire etc. in the HOF. MLB didn’t seem to have a problem with McGwire and Sosa saving baseball’s decline with an entertaining home run battle. They entertained like you asked, but now sports ball entertainment has issues with these individuals? Pssh, unreal man.

Still arrogant, patting himself on the back was always his specialty.

My grandma's dreamboat.

So you zoom in on him swinging but don't follow the trajectory of the ball. Good job

Using 120 + mph bats and stadium softballs...( wound super tite for extreme distance)

I’m 37 and I wouldn’t swing that hard without being nervous.
