HOVG: Jose Canseco Reviews “Moneyball” and, Naturally, Begs For a Job

Scout Bob: “Who’s Canseco?”

Sure, it was shut out at the Golden Globes, but it does have its fair share of supporters.

Including Jose Canseco…who took to Twitter Sunday night after seeing the film.

Just saw the movie money ball .it was awesome congrats billy I especially loved the part about you and your daughter.ps I would have played for you back then for free.I was one of those misfits who needed a second chance

...So, it’s particularly interesting that Canseco is now saying he would have played for free even though Beane had a complete lack of interest in the 1988 American League MVP.

Enter that classic Canseco desperation.

Billy beane call me would love to dh for you just give me a tryout that’s all I ask

Ugh.

Canseco is a trainwreck on twitter, I love it.

It really is. He gives out his personal email and tells Billy Beane to "ask Andy about me."

That "poetry" is truly saddening.

Perhaps my favorite Jose Canseco story came from this past July...and I witnessed it all firsthand.

Were More Canseco Brothers Shenanagins Afoot?

I still think we should pool our money and hire him to play softball with us this summer.

Maybe a team should invite him to spring training and tell all the young players - this is the warning about what could happen to you if you do drugs, look closely and learn. Then send him on his way. Canseco seems the type who'd jump at the chance just to get a few more seconds in a spotlight.

Aww man, when I saw the headline, I was hoping that Canseco said something like "the real success story behind Moneyball is steroids." And then used Giambi and Tejada as examples.
