Waiting for the Punch Line

[godwulf]

Oh, sweet angel of mercy.

The Yuma Scorpions, of the newly-formed North American League, formerly of the Golden Baseball League, have announced that their skipper for this coming season will be...wait for it...

Jose Canseco.

Ozzie will be his bench coach, naturally.

Suggestions for Stadium Give-Aways, anyone?

He will be playing for them as well. I am sure there are a few Jose collectors excited for it.

I am sure anyone caught using steroids will be documented in his new book. Of course the fact he introduced them, instructed players how to use them and encouraged them will be glossed over and forgotten.

Like most minor league teams, this will be a gimmick unless he wins. Then it will be heralded as genius

How about a boxing night?

"Mgr. Canseco takes on any and all comers"

Of course, for the actual boxing, he sends bench coach Ozzie out to do the duking.
