Over the past few years, Jose Canseco has been a goldmine of unintentional comedy, conspiracy theories, and general insanity. He may have outdone himself this time.

Jose Canseco has had quite the interesting life in the public eye. He was celebrated during his time with the Oakland Athletics – the first player in major league history to hit 40 homer and steal 40 bases in the same season. Then, during his time with the Texas Rangers, he became a punchline after allowing a home run off his head, and blowing out his arm in his ill-fated pitching debut. In the end, he found some level of redemption, the PED whistleblower who was originally mocked, then vindicated as time went on.

Since his playing days, Canseco has been a font of unintentional comedy and insanity. From his time on Celebrity Boxing to losing a finger in a poker game to his constant attempts to get people to hang out with him for money, he has become a parody of himself.

More from Call to the Pen

Because of this, Canseco’s Twitter account is a must follow. Not only does he indulge in his random thoughts on the medium, but there, one can get a glimpse into the random thoughts that go through his mind. Pure, unfettered by any societal norms or even the bounds of sanity, Canseco can give voice to his inner most thoughts.

It is also a place where one can indulge in the different beliefs that Canseco possesses. Yesterday, he gave voice to his latest conspiracy theory, that space aliens are coming to Earth to teach humans how to travel through time. But, there is a catch to those travels, because of course there is.

Let’s face it – Jose Canseco’s career as a baseball player and steroid inflated cartoon character would make him the foremost expert on space aliens, time travel, physics, and science. Dr. Giorgio, move on over – we have a new face for Ancient Aliens, and his name is Canseco. Albert Einstein? Stephen Hawking? Niels Bohr? Imbeciles when compared to the genius of this man.

Could it be that the Pied Piper of PEDs, the one man to tell the truth about the Steroid Era, has blown the cover off of another massive coverup? Could it be that, somehow, in some completley inexplicable way, Canseco managed to uncover a truth that no one was supposed to learn? Or did that ball hit by Carmelo Martinez knock some screws loose, and Canseco is just falling further into the depths of insanity?

In the end, how many visionaries were considered lunatics at the time of their revelations? Canseco, with his lack of a filter and refusal to be bound by the chains of silence, is just the person we need to set the truth free. After all, that revelation that time travel puts 42,651 pounds of pressure on the human skeletal structure is too precise of a number to be fraudulent…

Or maybe Jose Canseco got really high while reading H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Whisperer in Darkness” and forgot that it was a work of fiction. Either way, he is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to Twitter.
