Jose Canseco is like a child yelling "pay attention to me! Hey grandpa! Look, look grandpa!"
As an Oakland fan who grew up in the 80s, it gets harder and harder to watch him continue to hang around. I wish he'd just go away.

Good analogy with Canseco being the kdi trying to get his grandfather's attention. how many other players have hit the big time, flared out and were man enough to fade away -- even when faced with controversey? Mark McGwire is in hiding and I don't doubt he took performance enhancers. That beign said he's man enough not to keep demanding the spotlight.
You don't see Cecil Fielder getting angry that his son is popular now, you don't see Ryne Sandberg and Howard Johnson participating in one type or another of reality television shows to relive their famous years...
Jose Canseco and "Publicity Whore" go hand in hand.
