Jose Canseco’s name may be stripped from Miami-Dade street

Sheeeet…we have a street in our town named after a senior monsignor that used to grab our tender goolies as we were taking outside jumpers.

Has Jose Canseco, the larger-than-life local boy whose indiscretions have almost certainly locked him out of baseball’s Hall of Fame, finally committed an error so egregious that even his hometown can’t accept?

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Joe Martinez thinks so. And on Tuesday, Martinez will offer a resolution to permanently remove Canseco’s name from the West Miami-Dade street it has swung over for almost two decades.

‘‘I think it’s an embarrassment. It runs through my district, right by my office,’’ said Martinez, who drives Southwest 16th Street—aka Jose Canseco Street—a few times a week.

...Martinez said it wasn’t the brawl in the bar on the beach. It wasn’t the public dust-ups with his ex-wife. It wasn’t even Canseco’s prancing around in a leopard print Speedo on VH1’s The Surreal Life.

It was the steroids, said Martinez, a former county cop.
