Jose Canseco's still got it.
The 51-year-old former AL MVP made an appearance at Dr Pepper Ballpark, home of the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders, on Saturday and showed there's still some power left in his once-frightening bat. Wearing an unbuttoned RoughRiders jersey, a backwards cap, and sweatpants, Canseco held a personal home run derby and pulled several balls over the inviting left-field fence.
He even channeled his inner Babe Ruth and called his shot, pointing directly to the left-field foul pole. Canseco hit it out, though not to the exact spot he called. It went out to deep center field instead.
After this performance, Jose, there'll be lots of hugs 4 u.
