The North American League's Yuma Scorpions today announced that Jose Canseco, 46, will join the team as player/manager in the coming season, suiting up alongside his twin brother, Ozzie, who serves as a player/coach. Canseco is anxious to manage a club in professional baseball and begin the career transition of helping younger players and giving back to the game. The twins are penciled in to bat third and fourth in the Scorpions' lineup, with Jose expected to play first base and designated hitter. The independent league launches its inaugural season May 24, but has no affiliation with major league baseball. Team drills are expected to include sessions on testifying to Congress, creative writing, celebrity boxing and using your head in pressure situations.
