Jose Canseco is one of the most hilarious/sad/depressing follows in Twitterverse, but the past two days have been extra side-splitting. Here are a few excerpts from Canseco’s desperate pleas to play in the majors again.

That’s some great stuff. The sad part is Canseco was a pretty good player for a lot of teams. He won an MVP, Rookie of the Year, had a 40-40 season, and is 32nd all-time with 462 homers.

That’s good enough for a tryout! Right!? RIGHT!?!

For those scoring at home, Canseco last played for the White Sox in 2001.
