Jose Canseco and his brother Ozzie, both former major league baseball players, are playing in a tournament this weekend at The Villages.
The Canseco brothers are playing for Talon Wealth Management which won the tournament last year. Last year the brothers played for a team out of Miami.
A large crowd turned out at Saddlebrook Softball Complex today to get a look at the famous brothers.
Jose Canseco wowed the crowd by hitting a home run in the third inning of the noon game.
Jose Canseco, who turned 50 this year, played for the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers during his major league career. His 462 career home runs rank him 32nd on the MLB all-time list.
Twin brother Ozzie Canseco was drafted as a pitcher by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1983 Major League Baseball Draft. In stark contrast to his brother, Ozzie never hit a major league home run.
