[edit] High School infortmation

Jose Canseco attended Miami Coral Park Senior High School. --Primetimeking 04:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary phrase?

Why include the phrase "did not attend college on a baseball scholarship"?... it is necessary to confirm information in the negative? Do you need to inform people by denying something they wouldn´t necessarily assume otherwise?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.248.214.99 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 11 March 2006.

[edit] Career with Expos

In 2002, Canseco signed a contract, a minor-league contract I believe, but never played a game for the 'Spos 172.166.91.139 21:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)Nick22aku

Recentism a bit out of hand... Including the Surf Dogs in his bio box would mean including every minor league team he has played for. Also, considering the Surf Dogs are the lowest of the lowest professional baseball levels, you might as well include every team he has ever played for in his life. Nick22aku 18:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

If no one objects, I plan on removing the Expos (2002) and of course the Surf Dogs (2006) in the bio box since he never played with the Expos and Surf Dogs are not a major league team. Nick22aku 19:04, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

That's fine, I don't think he ever played a regular season game for the Angels either. Also, he just got traded from the Surf Dogs, so maybe that should be updated anyway.--Burgwerworldz 22:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

He played pre-season exhibition games for both the Expos and the Angels, so that should be included. The Surf Dawgs and Armada are not major league teams so they should not be included.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.125.2.111 (talk • contribs) 03:21, 12 July 2006.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Juiced-JoseCanseco.jpg

Image:Juiced-JoseCanseco.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

The above assertion is false. This article is cited and linked. The rationale appears more than adquate. The image is restored into restored "Steriods" section where it is most relevant. – Conrad T. Pino (talk) 17:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
