lifeintheminors.com | Jose Canseco crushes his 1st HR for the Laredo Broncos 

Jose was always honest about the steroids and for that I have more respect for him than all those who lied about it

Conseco is a GOD. He did nothing more than the majority of his peers were doing in the 80s and 90s. This man deserves a second chance

I actually like how he responded after the HR

He's special. People forget how good he was. Incredible.

anyone who's not reached 50 yet - you have no idea how amazing that is

He's just a freaking MONSTER! Canseco has great batting mechanics.

Still my favorite BaseballPlayer

After the game he signs autographs for both teams. 😇

The fact that he's older that Methuselah and still owning pitchers is pretty cool.

The most beautiful swing I've ever see in baseball. Even when he miss it is beautiful.

Jose was my idol when he came up to the majors. I've always loved the Oakland A's with Rickey Henderson... Man, I was 4 years old and I was Rickey Henderson! I used to slide on concrete just pretending to be him. When Jose came up in late '85 for 29 games & taking ROTY in '86, bye-bye Rickey and I even grew my hair his length, wore #33 until my last game for the San Bernardino Spirit, had his batting stance even had the facial twitches down and constantly cracking my neck.. There goes my HERO!

Canseco has talent don't forget about that. Ya, shir steroids enhance performance... but steroids don't give you good eye hand coordination. That's god given.

Siempre fue todo un espectáculo al momento de batear, con esteroides o sin ellos...

As a life long A's fan I got annoyed with Canseco at times ... but now I really like the guy. I believe SF Chronical writer Scott Oster once wrote "Canseco's idea of a baseball game is simply a sequence of four or five opportunities for him to walk up to the plate, and try to hit a home run." .... Well that may be true and if it is I respect about him ... he is a completely real and honest person.

say what you wanna say i always like canseco...

Jose exposed the steroid problem in MLB and got blackballed for it

That bat boy kid almost walked into his bat.

First 40-40 man

If MLB is gonna let any steroid player era in The Hall Of Fame then Jose Canseco should also get in.

Legend

was a huge fan of him growing up in the '80... was a big fan of oakland from the 87- 92 before my marlins were born.... tond of pictures of him &* autographs from him and his brother ozzie

Bat boy just about gets conked twice. 1:50

It's THE GOAT!

462 home runs at the Major league level. Thats a lot of experience at the plate.

we got Canseco!!!!!!!! dang he's a handsome fella too.

Mad respect

My childhood hero.

The bat boy escaped from not 1 but 2 concussions in 10 seconds.

All time favorite ball player .

Proud of you Jose!

I always liked him - should not have have worked the roids BUT he has called out all the other deniers .

THE Oakland A's The Bash Brothers ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

So Awesome...

@aarsho He was hitting homeruns before he was doing roids... His accomplishments are only tainted by non-fans such as yourself. The fact remains he hit those homeruns and was an awesome player. Anyone that has played baseball or (at least) followed the sport would realize what he accomplished was major. Hate the man all you want.... doesn't change the fact this man can crush the ball.

Contrary to popular opinion, even if we pretended he never used steroids he actually was not a HOF player. He had a tremendous peak in the late 80s to early 90s and a couple of great seasons after that, but he was mostly up and down the last 8 years of his career. He had tremendous bat speed and power in his prime, don't get me wrong, and there are worse players in the HOF but even if we were to welcome in McGwire and Bonds, I don't think its a given that Canseco gets in, unless he gets some credit for his book. I think he actually gives steroids a little too much credit, if they really brought him from a career minor leaguer to a near HOFer, then why did his twin brother, who also used steroids, do quite poorly in MLB? I'm pretty sure if all it took was more steroids his brother would have taken more and gotten those multi million dollar contracts as well. I wonder if a prime Canseco had access to better steroids like Bonds did if he would have hit over 70? I think even with the steroids, the great hand eye coordination etc, you need tremendous natural power to hit that many.

The plate umpire is freaking AWESOME

Jose was GTLing before any of these kids where born.

In his prime he had amazing bat speed through the zone.

great camera work when he hit the ball out...

I always had an affinity for the A’s

"Every single person is standing and clapping". Video shows not one person standing and/or clapping..??

Doesn't look bad for 86 .

3:30 Looks like he missed 3B.

Exactly

Nice

I was there, it was amazing.#33 4LIFE

He did no want to run that out at all..😂😂

Im 50, i couldnt do that... I played baseball for many years

When was this?

good to see he is still on the juice

Jesus christ look at the size of his forearms

17 yrs in the Majors and blew all his money. Happens so often in all the big leagues.

It was Ozzie

Ese es un caballete

I could really give a shit less if he did steroids. That was what,20 years ago? I dont care who it is, seeing somebody of his age hitting a 550 ft homerun? You cant disagree that is pretty impressive.

Everyone was standing?

He doesn't use a heavy bat on deck? Interesting

#33

How did Jose’s life go so wrong?

@thebayareapimp black balled for writing a book about the truth regarding steroids in the major leagues and who is really taking them etc.

Why was he sent to the minors?????

Anyone who doesn’t understand steroids are the difference between a fly out to left field and a 550 foot home run cannot be helped.

He missed third base. Look again!

I miss steroids.

@MrBadfish2 Nor does his ability to crush the ball diminish from his actions. I acknowledged that he's a talented player, but to defend him and his fellow steroid pushers is to defend their role in tarnishing the reputation of the sport. I don't hate him, but I'm not going to kiss his throne as you do.

He would have been a hall of fame player if it wasn't for steroids. You still have to know how to hit the ball and be a natural talent that works hard. But he wouldn't have had as many home runs as he did. He ratted out all of his friends and people who connected him. You should not be taking everyone down with you. Maguire would have been another one. Before Mark started the road his first season he hit 39 home runs and he was athletic, fit but skinny. So he ruined himself by cheating as well. Barry Bonds same thing. But again you still have to have skill.

Hopefully they did a blood test and checked the bat after that...

Half his age. Mixed feelings whatever.

Why was he still trying to play, especially in minor leagues, when he was in his late 40s. I don't get it.

Professional Ham, amazing how many videos I can find of him playing ball in leagues he has no business being in.

Talk about washed up...Now.

@MrBadfish2 It's not like he hit this one against an MLB caliber pitcher. No one denies he was a good player, but the 'roids forever taint his accomplishments and credibility as an athlete. He was among many of the players who helped nearly destroy the sport I've loved since I was a little kid by juicing up. It isn't BS, it's reality. Canseco FTL.

ROIDS!

What? No Juice.

he looks so juiced up

still on roids.... you can't just stop taking them and not get smaller idc how much you work out you lose mass.

It's too bad he had to use drugs to feel he needed to be successful. But he knew without them he was an average player at best, so I see why he used them.

hes great but he was on steroids...

One of the ugliest swings ever in baseball. Rigid and stiff as can be. But the dude still mashes.

Jose only player on team to have his name on back of jersey

1 half of the juice brothers

Still my favorite BaseballPlayer
