I'm in the press box at Arnold Field, the home of the Sonoma Stompers, and write this post between loud, violent thuds emanating from the bat of 50-year-old former Athletic Jose Canseco. Canseco is large as ever, and the majestic bombs he's hitting are equally large, carrying well into the trees beyond the left field bleachers.
The former major leaguer and author of bestselling books "Juiced" and "Vindicated" was flown in Thursday night from Las Vegas to participate in the Pacific Association's version of #FerrellTakesTheField. It's not confirmed, especially given the intemperate weather, but he may attempt to play every position during either Friday or Saturday night's game against the San Rafael Pacifics.
