The Oakland A’s inducted their sixth Hall of Fame class on Saturday ahead of the final Bay Bridge Series
Former Oakland Athletics stars Terry Steinbach, left, and Miguel Tejada, look on as Jose Canseco is congratulated by former manager Tony LaRussa during the Athletics Hall of Fame pregame ceremony as former manager Tony LaRussa waits for Canseco to put on the Hall of Fame jacket before the A’s take on the San Francisco Giants at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024. OAKLAND — Jose Canseco was, in his words, an emotional wreck. He certainly played the part.
Canseco has manufactured no shortage of drama over the last four-plus decades, both during and after his playing days. But on this afternoon, he was afforded the privilege of basking in a sea of admiration. “Jose goes, ‘Every time I come to the plate, it’s an RBI situation,’” Steinbach laughed. “At first, we laughed. But then we go, ‘You know, he’s right!’”
