Oh yeah, let's start pooling some money together :roll:

HANG OUT WITH JOSE

Former major league slugger Jose Canseco is always thinking.

Confined to house arrest for at least one year -- the result of his latest legal problem, involving a nightclub brawl -- Canseco came up with a way to make some money.

Through his website, www.JoseCanseco.com, he is offering bidders the chance to hang out with him at his South Florida home. Potential activities include private power-hitting instruction, a workout with the big fella, martial arts instruction and some barbecue action by his pool.

Sound like a dream event for you and your little baseball fan? Bidding starts at $2,500 and that includes one free guest 17 or younger. Jose is even throwing in a limo ride to and from the airport.

No word on whether he will offer a discount to any bidder that helps Ozzie clean his pool . .

I tried the same thing a few years ago:

"Hang out with me at my apartment. Activites iclude watching TV, playing hockey at the tennis courts, minor cleaning, and pb&j sandwhiches. Bidding starts at $500 per guest."

sadly, my business venture lasted 1 year, and I had no guests that left happy or satisfied, good luck Jose.

Canseco Arrested After Positive Drug Test

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Jose Canseco was arrested at his home Friday after testing positive for steroids, a violation of his probation stemming from a nightclub brawl.

The former American League MVP, who had been under house arrest for earlier violating probation, was being held at Broward County Jail without bond pending a court appearance. He'll probably face a hearing Monday or Tuesday, officials said.

Canseco, who retired from baseball last year, was charged with his twin brother, Ozzie, for the 2001 brawl in Miami Beach. He was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty last year.

Canseco already violated his probation by leaving Florida for several weeks and failing to start community service and anger management classes. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and two years of house arrest, and he was warned him that further violations could result in a 15-year prison sentence.

Manny Hillman, a lawyer for Canseco, declined to comment. Another lawyer, Gustavo Lage did not return a message seeking comment.

Jose Canseco hit 462 home runs in his major league career. He retired in May 2002 after 1,887 games with seven teams, finishing his career with a .266 batting average, 1,407 RBIs and 200 stolen bases.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Canseco has admitted using steroids during his baseball career.

Dumbass is right.

Canseco Jailed Until Hearing on Steroids
Tue Jun 24, 8:37 AM ET

By CATHERINE WILSON, Associated Press Writer

MIAMI - Jose Canseco (news) was ordered to jail Monday to await a hearing on whether he violated probation by testing positive for steroids.

The former American League (news) MVP was being held without bond until a July 21 hearing. He had been under house arrest for earlier violating his probation stemming from a nightclub brawl and was arrested Friday on the results of a June 3 drug test.

State prison spokesman Sterling Ivey has said Canseco recently tested positive for steroids.

Canseco, who retired from baseball last year, was charged with his twin brother, Ozzie, for the 2001 brawl in Miami Beach. He was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty last year.

Canseco appeared before the judge in jail-issue red jumpsuit and wrist and ankle shackles and did not speak during the hearing.

"Jose's only statement to me was, 'But I do take this seriously. I can't believe how this is spinning,'" Canseco attorney Jayne Weintraub said. She argued to the judge that the only reason he faced jail was because of his celebrity status.

Weintraub described Canseco as being "very disappointed and sad" and denied the violation saying there is "always misunderstandings."

Jose Canseco already violated his probation by leaving Florida for several weeks and failing to start community service and anger management classes. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and two years of house arrest. He was warned that further violations could result in a 15-year prison sentence.

While confined to his house, Canseco has charged people $2,500 each through his personal Web site to "Spend the Day with Jose." Autographed balls and posters also are for sale.

Canseco hit 462 home runs in his major league career in which he has admitted using steroids. He played for seven teams, hitting .266 with 1,407 RBIs and 200 stolen bases.
