UPDATE – Even though it is 2013, this is the start of the 2014 senior softball season, therefore Canseco qualified as a 50-year-old for the tournament. Our apologies for saying he cheated when he didn’t.
Well what do you know? More than a decade after playing his last game in Major League Baseball, Jose Canseco appears to be up to the same tricks that got him “blackballed” from MLB.
Canseco tweeted this week that his team won a 50-and-over senior’s softball tournament in Florida.

Good for Canseco! Guy is still staying busy and finding new ways to put his athletic skills to use. Only one problem: as Hardball Talk pointed out, Canseco is still 49 years old and doesn’t turn 50 until next July. Whoops!
Unless this is some senior league that allows people under 50 to compete despite it being a league for 50-and-over, then Canseco was sandbagging. Of course, that would be nothing new for him. My guess is he’ll say his twin brother was to blame like last time.
