Jose Canseco

Jose Canseco is, of course, best known for basically inventing steroids. He spent his first nine years in the big leagues with the Oakland A’s, winning a Rookie of the Year Award, MVP and a World Series. He was then traded to Texas and had a fly ball hit off his head and bounce over the wall for a home run.

But Canseco is actually a two-time World Series champion, as he was a midseason acquisition by the Yankees in 2000.

He had one at bat in that postseason — a strikeout in the World Series.

And even though he was in the tail end of his career, he was still able to mash.

So yeah, Jose Canseco. Yankee legend.
