HARLINGEN, Texas - The entire city of fun-starved Harlingen turned-out last night to see disgraced baseballer Jose Canseco take the mound against the lowly locals - the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings. Minor league action has found a home here. Canseco, unable to land a job in the Big Leagues perhaps due to his use of performance-enhancing drugs while a member of the Oakland Athletics, threw balls at home plate for his club, the mediocre Laredo Broncos of something calling itself the United Baseball League.
The crowd settled back and inhaled deeply between batters, as they waited for the bulky Canseco's turn at the plate. Said one roly-poly, fat-faced fan, "I am so juiced just being here! Ha ha ha ha..."
"Hey!" yelled another beer-guzzling fan at this reporter, "...tell them we want to see Yogi Berra next! Ha ha ha ha..."
The final score (Wingsters won) was irrelevant.
"I'm just tickled pink to be in the same stadium with Jose Canseco!" he threw out, clutching his ripped ticket stub. "Jose Canseco! I'm breathing the same air as Jose Canseco! Jose Canseco, man! Somebody peeeeeeench me! Ha ha ha ha..."

I was at the game last night, and it was a little rawdy, didn't know this Joe C. could pitch, well he tried boxing, writing books, and God knows what else. Now the UBL has hired him to draw the locals. Some people do get a little drunk at those games.
The prices are up from $4.00 to $8.00. By the way the Harlingen Field is not even close to the one on the picture.
ANON:...Yeah, around here, these Jokesters would get drunk even if the Pope came to watch Jose Canseco do anything. Did they really raise the price of tickets just because Canseco would be in town? Outrageous!.... - Editor
I don't know the real reson, but at the beggining of the season it $5 and $6 box seats which are seats right behind first base. They are green colored, it is about 4 rows.
Beer is kind of pricey, and they sell hot dogs, candy, you name it.
Don't park on the West side of the ball park, near the canal. Sometimes, those balls end up on top of cars.
The games are okay for about 6 innings. At least thats all I can take.
By the Way Big Joe C. was signing autographs the other afternoon.
Mr. Doyle better be careful, you pick on the wrong people, specially esos de la catorce. And it can turn violent in no time at all, I hope he called the Police.
Canseco, has left the Valley, at least that is what Jerry Deal is reporting.
Hey Mr. Alcatraz [ that last name is actually a long - stem white Waxy Flowers - like the ones you see on Diegos Rivera paintings, of a Mexican Native - Indian Lady carrying a bunch on her Back ]...
