Pick any or all of the following: hot-pink Lamborghini turned human, pioneer in the field of anabolic steroid advocacy, frankly embarrassing person who might nonetheless have backhandedly done some good for baseball. And now, thanks to SB Nation’s Royals Review, we can add another line to Canseco’s resume: poet. The following koans were cobbled together from Canseco’s Twitter feed by the Boswells at Royals Review; thanks to Ted Berg’s estimable Tedquarters for the link.
