José Canseco Showtime Car Wash in Vegas
That’s Amaury News and Commentary
By Amaury Pi-González
For a couple of years now, Mr.40-40/MVP José Canseco’s name is on his Car Wash operation in Las Vegas. José has done many things after his 17 year-career in MLB (which most of us that covered him with the A’s believe was on the way to the Hall of Fame).
He has done reality television shows, wrestled strange things on the boxing ring and other “out of the ordinary” stuff, too many to mention, including a couple of books about Steroids. But now he can be seen at the Showtime Car Wash in Las Vegas on Tropicana Avenue.
A place where you can have your car hand washed, or detailed and even get an autograph from the slugger and half part of the Bash Brothers during the A’s most recent glory years. Canseco is not there all the time, but at specific days of the week.
Canseco was signing autographs at a hotel in Las Vegas, last time I visited. Some are the regular baseball memorabilia shows that travel around the country as well as Las Vegas which is one of the big entertainment centers of the world, home to the Oakland Raiders and could be the future home of the Oakland Athletics. If the A’s relocate to Vegas, Canseco can always say, “I was here first”.
Hoping for a healthy Memorial Day weekend.
