Jose Canseco has no doubt made a mark on the history of baseball. Whether that is as a player or after his retirement, Canseco is definitely up there when it comes to top performers in the game. And even having retired in 2001, Canseco still finds a way to make it to the news.

The somewhat controversial figure in baseball recently took to Twitter to speak about boxing as a sport. The erstwhile Athletic then proceeded to call out another former MLB player in a boxing match.

Canseco Calls out A-Rod

In a recent set of tweets, Canseco took to Twitter to call out A-Rod to a boxing match. The outfielder, who played for the Oakland Athletics in his heyday tweeted that he would like to take on the former Yankee. That is of course once he had finished rehab on his shoulder and knee.

Canseco has often taken to twitter to talk about A-Rod and often in an unflattering tone. The basic nature of his tweets has not necessarily been to A-Rod’s liking. In September of last year, Canseco tweeted out this.

Jose Canseco – The Player

Canseco was a gun hitter in the ballpark and managed to put together 2 World Series wins in his career. Winning it all in 1989 with the Oakland Athletics and then again with the New York Yankees in 2000.

In what was one of the most dominant seasons for a batter, Canseco put together one of the best stat lines by any Major League Baseball player in 1988.

Canseco led the league in home runs  scoring 42 of them that year. He also led the AL in RBIs, getting 124, while hitting .307. Canseco was named the MVP of the American League in that season. He was the first player to score 40 homeruns and steal 40 bases in the same season. His nickname Mr. 40/40 was coined hence.

And Canseco didn’t have just 1 standout season. In 1991, he led the league in homers again with 44 of them off his barrel. He also drove in 122 runs that year. Even in 1998, well into the eve of his career, the power hitter dispatched 46 home runs and added a solid 107 RBIs.

Canseco’s legacy as a player is undisturbed and while many have gone on to repeat his stats, he remains the first the scale the peak.
