PITTSBURG -- Jose Canseco has been to the baseball mountaintop as a World Series champion, was shamed (and later largely vindicated) as an early admitted user of steroids and was a whistle-blower for widespread drug use in baseball.
He also has dabbled in a wide range of post-baseball pursuits, ranging from reality television to martial arts to boxing a onetime member of the Partridge Family.But through it all Canseco has never wandered far from baseball, and the allure of the diamond. And now, he is a Diamond -- a player and coach with the local Pacific Association independent pro team that plays at Pittsburg's City Park.
