Jose Canseco Gets Ass Kicked

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

You have to admit.  Jose Canseco lives an interesting life.

At Fantasy Baseball Dugout, we’ve bought tickets to many games over the course of our baseball fanhood. But we aren’t just baseball freaks here at the Dugout, we love all sports. That said, we don’t typically buy game tickets online – just sell ‘em. Too many sites charge fees that are waaaay too high for [...]
