Jose Canseco attended Miami Coral Park Senior High School. --Primetimeking 04:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Why include the phrase "did not attend college on a baseball scholarship"?... it is necessary to confirm information in the negative? Do you need to inform people by denying something they wouldn´t necessarily assume otherwise?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.248.214.99 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 11 March 2006.
In 2002, Canseco signed a contract, a minor-league contract I believe, but never played a game for the 'Spos 172.166.91.139 21:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)Nick22aku
Someone needs to pull the trivia section out of the article and/or incorporate the sourced info into it.
Also, can anyone who's more familiar with formatting explain why the edit by User:96.227.36.145 nuked the bottom part (see also, refs, boxes) of the article? Thanks, dfg (talk) 17:30, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Canseco's name = Steroids (among other things.) That first paragraph has to be edited to mention that somehow.
I'm confused about a couple entries in the current article. First off, it says Jose left Cuba when he and Ozzie were infants. However, I've heard that his family came to America in the 1970s. Does this mean that they lived somewhere else from the mid-60s to the 1970s? My second concern has a little editoralizing, so I apologize in advance. In the categories section, it lists "People who attempted suicide" as one of the categories. Is this true, or is this someone's sick idea of a joke? There's nothing about that in the article. I'd never heard of any suicide attempt by Jose, and it seems he can't spit on the sidewalk without everyone talking about it. Also, I know that there are people who make up stories like that to get some kind of sick kick. I'd need a relaible source before I'll believe it really happened.

I've gone ahead and removed the "People who attempted suicide" category as I've heard absolutely nothing to verify it. Evernut (talk) 16:06, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
"Jose Canseco joins the long list of men who resort to the idiotic defense that they can "get" women without force "
Only the more lurid events are described. He was married at least twice, divorced at least once, and has at least one daughter who lives with ??? This material should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nigelrg (talk • contribs) 00:24, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
An update is needed to this article.
It should include the details of his injuries after shooting himself in the hand with his loaded semiautomatic handgun.

This edit has brought up the following question from me: Does he use the accent or not when spelling out his name? I see on the CommonsCategory and the lead paragraph that the accent is visible as well as in the "Performance-enhancing drugs" section. I'm not sure if that should remain there or drop the accent entirely. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 11:21, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
I suggest changing the short description to "Cuban-American Major League Baseball player". He's lived here since he was one year old! Matuko (talk) 18:07, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
