The last time we heard from Canseco was last month, after he failed a drug test when he tried out for the Quintana Roo Tigers of the Mexican League after stints as boxer and MMA fighter. He told the New York Daily News he receives testosterone treatment since he cannot produce testosterone naturally due to all of his years of steroid use.
It seems like the 47-year old slugger has played in every league in every country and just won't go away.
In fact, Canseco tweeted that he will be at Fenway Park on Friday for the landmark's 100th anniversary celebration.
"OK haters and army of immortals," he said via Twitter. "The cat's out of the bag. I'm here for the red sox 100th anniversary. Glad to be back at fenway."
Canseco played for both the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees— who will be playing Friday afternoon to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first game played at Fenway.
He once called his half-season stint with the Bronx Bombers "the worst time of my life."
In a statement, Tornadoes owner Todd Breighner said that the minor league club was "very optimistic Jose will be a very solid ball player for the Tornadoes as our goal is to continue to bring high-level baseball to Worcester." Breighner also added that baseball "is all about affordable family entertainment."
While some fans might get a kick out of seeing Canseco take a few whacks at the ball, one person who will not miss seeing— or more importantly— hearing from him is former Red Sox, Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays teammate Rogers Clemens.
Canseco is a potential witness in the Clemens perjury trial that began this week with jury selection.
Just when you think Canseco got out of baseball, it pulls him back in again and again and again.
