The Texas Winter League is pleased to announce the playing appearance of former American League slugger Jose Canseco this weekend, Feb. 22-24.

Canseco, 48, was the American League Rookie of the Year in 1986 and the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1988. During his 17-year career he twice led the American League in home runs, was a six-time All Star, and won four Silver Slugger Awards.

Canseco is expected to play in all six games this weekend and even pitch in one TWL game. Though he was an outfielder in the major leagues, Canseco has pitched in 15 professional baseball games, most recently 11 for the Yuma Scorpions in 2011.
