小何塞·坎塞柯·卡帕斯（José Canseco Capas, Jr.，1964年7月2日—），绰号为药剂师（The Chemist），生于古巴哈瓦那，前美国职棒大联盟选手，右投右打，负责外野手与指定打击。

卡帕斯在1988年球季有42支本垒打及40次盗垒成功，即“40-40”的表现，在当时是美职历史上首见。然而，之后他在自传（2005年）中坦承曾经使用同化激素，并指出许多大联盟球星都有使用类固醇药剂的习惯，以增强自己在球场的表现，这一事件使他的评价骤降。从职棒退休后，他也从事拳击与综合格斗。

早年

他生于哈瓦那附近的自治市雷各拉（Regla）。他的双胞胎哥哥，欧兹·坎塞柯（Ozzie Canseco）也是前美国职棒大联盟选手。

José Canseco Capas Jr. (born July 2, 1964) is a Cuban-American former professional baseball outfielder and designated hitter who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). During his time with the Oakland Athletics, he established himself as one of the premier power hitters in the game. He won the Rookie of the Year (1986), and Most Valuable Player award (1988), and was a six-time All-Star. Canseco is a two-time World Series champion with the Oakland Athletics (1989) and the New York Yankees (2000).

In 1988, Canseco became the first player in MLB history to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in one season. He won the Silver Slugger Award four times: three as an American League (AL) outfielder (1988, 1990, 1991), and once as a designated hitter (1998). He ranks fourth all-time in Athletics history with 254 home runs and is one of 14 players in MLB history with 400 home runs and 200 stolen bases. Despite many injuries during the later part of his career, Canseco averaged 40 home runs, 120 runs batted in, and 102 runs scored every 162 games, playing a total of 1,887 games in 17 seasons with seven different teams. His 462 career home runs are the 12th-highest total in AL history and the 2nd most in MLB history for a player with less than 2,000 games played. For the length of his career (1985-2001) Canseco had the 3rd most home runs in all of Major League Baseball, behind only Mark McGwire (583) and Barry Bonds (567). He is the 7th lowest drafted player (15th round, 392nd pick in 1982) in MLB history ever to win an MVP Award. From the day of his debut until his last game in MLB (September 5, 1985, until his last career game on October 6, 2001), no one hit more home runs in the American League than Canseco.

Canseco admitted using performance-enhancing drugs during his major-league playing career, and in 2005 wrote a tell-all book, Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big, in which he said that the vast majority of MLB players use steroids. After retiring from MLB, he also competed in boxing and mixed martial arts.

Early life

Canseco was born in Havana, Cuba, the son of José Sr. and Barbara Canseco. His father was Cuban while his mother was half-Cuban and half-Filipino. He has a twin brother, Ozzie Canseco, who is also a former major league player. When Fidel Castro came into power in 1959, José Sr., a territory manager for the oil and gasoline corporation Esso as well as a part-time English teacher, lost his job and eventually his home. The family was allowed to leave Cuba in 1965, when the twins were barely one year old, and settled in the Miami area, where José Sr. became a territory manager for another oil and gasoline company, Amoco.

Canseco played baseball at Miami Coral Park High School, where he failed to make the varsity team until his senior year. He was named Most Valuable Player of the junior varsity team in his junior year and of the varsity team the following year. He graduated in 1982.

Baseball career

Minor League Baseball (1982–1985)

The Oakland Athletics drafted Canseco in the 15th round of the 1982 Major League Baseball draft. He made his professional baseball debut with the Miami Marlins of the Florida State League and also played Minor League Baseball with the Medford A's, Madison Muskies, Idaho Falls A's, Modesto A's, and Tacoma Tigers. Canseco started the 1985 season with the Class-AA Huntsville Stars and became known as "Parkway José" for his long home runs (25 in half a season) that went close to the Memorial Parkway behind Joe Davis Stadium. Canseco was nicknamed "The Natural", with some analysts saying he was the best prospect since Willie Mays. Oakland A's hitting coach Bob Watson said that Canseco was a mixture of Roberto Clemente, Dale Murphy, and Reggie Jackson. Others touted Canseco as the next Mickey Mantle.
