HARLINGEN, Texas - Jose Canseco, the disgraced former major leaguer who excited local baseball fans while playing for Laredo, has been banned from the Mexican League. A team spokesman for the Tigres de Quintana Roo said the 47-year-old Cuban-American was not given a contract after he admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs.
Canseco, a slugger known for mammoth homeruns, once thrilled Oakland fans when he played for the Athletics, and later when he played for the Texas Rangers. Drug-use hounded the last years of his MLB career, which was followed by crazy, publicity stints as a boxer, a wrestler and a string of player-manager jobs with a series of insignificant minor league ballclubs. Last year, he managed a North American Baseball League team in Yuma, Arizona.
Here, fans saw him perform at Harlingen Field against The Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings, visits the local club promoted as if promoting a clean ballplayer. To reputable sportswriters, Canseco has been dirt for years.
Rumors are circulating that the WhiteWings may try and sign him as a way to boost the club's recent sagging attendance. That would be a bad move...

If the Wings sign Canseco, it's over. The guy is a loser.
Things are quiet on the Whitewings front. Nothing on the local paper, the city is concern about the $50.000.00 the Wing's owe the tax-payers.
If the Wings sign Canseco, Jerry deal will go nuts writing about what a great guy he is. But he is no role model for kids. Loser
Some tax-payers, want the Yellow wings to pay their share. Everybody wants to live of tax-payers. Even a team of rejects.

Canseco is going to end up in our league, cause they loved him so much. It should be Can-Suck-o.
