Yes, really, at age 47 he's a player/manager for the Yuma independent league team. I hadn't heard of this until I saw this article, but I thought it was really interesting. Jose Canseco was one of the more interesting baseball players of the late '80s to the '90s. I always kind of liked him. Then of course he was one of the poster children for steroid use, but on the other hand he also wrote that book exposing the whole thing and naming names of steroid users, a pretty brave thing to do. He now claims that because of that book he's been blacklisted out of pro baseball, which is possible. I'm sure a lot of people didn't like what he had to say there...
As for what he's doing now, it's a little sad that someone who was a great player is now reduced to this, but if he can still do it, and is still in the game, why not?
Either way, I'd say people who are baseball fans should read the article, it's kind of interesting.
