Welcome back to Pastball Podcast, where we relive baseball’s weirdest, wildest, and most head-scratching moments. Today, we’re talking about a man who could launch a baseball into orbit—but when it came to base-running, things got... complicated.
In this episode, we break down Jose Canseco’s legendary mishaps on the basepaths, including:
⚾ How a six-time All-Star and 40-40 club member led the league in getting caught stealing in 1986.
⚾ The infamous 1993 base-running blunder with the Rangers, where he got doubled off first base like a rookie.
⚾ His time in Oakland, where teammates and even Tony La Russa knew every trip around the bases was an adventure.
⚾ Why despite all the gaffes, Canseco’s power and larger-than-life personality kept him in the game (and in baseball lore).
When it came to home runs, Canseco was elite. When it came to base-running? Let’s just say he wasn’t exactly Rickey Henderson.
