There was some kind of fundraising/tournament going while he was in Red Sox organization, he was invited, they had athletes from every sports drinking and eating outdoors .... there was this 300 lbs NFL player and Canseco Yes, Canseco had to pick on the bigger dude there...
Jose -Hey are you a cock sucker?" big guy- Huh ? "
Jose Are you a cock sucker? yes or no question ....."
The big guy NO'.... Jose -.Good can I have a sip of your beer cause these Wings are too fucking hot "
The guy gave the beer to Jose as everyone was laughing ...
