In The Simpsons episode "Homer At The Bat," Monty Burns hires real baseball players as ringers to play on his company softball team. Aside from Daryl Strawberry, every other major-leaguer misses the game for various reasons: Jose Canseco winds up having to pull everything out of a burning building. But, late last month, he was able to fulfill his destiny as a softball hero.
Barney's Beanery is a chain of bars in the Los Angeles area (they have karaoke seemingly EVERY night I go) and the four different Barney's Beanery's played each other in a softball tournament. But the Santa Monica location had a distinct advantage: they had recruited Jose Canseco, one of the greatest power hitters of his generation, to join their team. The Palisadian-Post reports:
Canseco crushed several home runs during the one-day tournament, one of which cleared the opposite field and landed in the parking lot over 350 feet away.
