José Canseco Marquee

In 1988 he hit 42 home runs and stole 40 bases, led the American League in home runs and in runs batted in with 124, and was Most Valuable Player. Nobody had put 40 and 40 together before. Five men have since: Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Alfonso Soriano, Ronald Acuña and Shohei Ohtani. He had been Rookie of the Year in 1986.

He finished with 462 home runs, 1,407 runs batted in and 200 stolen bases in seventeen seasons for seven clubs, batting .266 and striking out 1,942 times. His best home-run year came late: 46 for Toronto in 1998, at 34. He pitched an inning for Texas in 1993, gave up three earned runs, and never pitched again.

In 2005 he published a book that named other players as steroid users and described his own use, and he testified before Congress about it that March. The writers put him on one Hall of Fame ballot, in 2007, and gave him six votes of the 545 cast, with 409 needed. His name has not appeared on another.
