Jose’s true fans revealed!

July 7th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanR

So, by now we all know Jose Canseco signed with the San Diego Surf Dawgs of the Golden Baseball League late last week.

And in his first game back, Jose struck out three times and got hit by a pitch. (He’s just getting the kinks out, people.) Following his first game, Jose asked to be traded to the Long Beach Armada (slightly better team name than ‘Surf Dawgs’) because of custody issues with his daughter. Fair enough. His wish was granted yesterday.

We’re really not quite sure what to make of Conseco. We know he’s never going to be one to bow out gracefully, always trying to stay in the public eye, with his failed attempts as an action movie star and stint on the Surreal Life. Doesn’t really bother us all that much.

We also know he’s viewed as kind of an idiot by many. Like a big, dumb animal type of idiot. He seems lovable, though. Like a big teddy bear you want to hug. Don’t you think?

And hey, he made Sammy Sosa look semi-retarded in front of Congress, which brought smiles to our faces. He gets bonus points for that.

But enough of that. It’s Friday, so it’s time to bust out one of the Postmen’s favorite post subjects, ATHELETE’S WEB SITES!

Over at Jose’s official site, the fan section is where it’s at. Why, just take a look at what one superfan says about Jose.

I have been a Canseco fan since I was 7 years old. I remember how I became a fan. He was the first player I ever saw hit a home run. I soon realized that other players hit homeruns, but none like Jose. This player had something no others had, he had presence. I am now 25 years old and am more a fan now than I have ever been. I recently added a member to my family by way of a baby girl named Anna born last November. I will raise her right, as a Canseco fan. I have never met Jose, but that is a dream of mine. I have collected over 1500 different cards of Jose over the years. I have over thirty game used auto cards and almost as many game used cards. I have an autographed bat and an autographed game used bat courtesy of Jose Canseco.com. I have several other autos and various other Canseco collectibles. I have been a Canseco fan over a third of my life, and I don’t see any changes any time soon. No matter what he does, I will always support him.

Pray for baby Anna, loyal readers. Pray for her.
