Yes, that's right, Jose Canseco playing independent league baseball a few years back for the Long Beach Armada of hte Golden Baseball League.
The photo used for this card was a picture I shot, obviously with the help of Jose making sure he was looking.
The layout is simple, allowing the photo to run a full bleed, while giving a subtle light hairline box to tighten up the card.
Jose didn't have much of a season that year...and was more interested in showing off his knuckleball than anything else. It was fairly amazing to see a guy like him with his long MLB background just struggle at the plate against a bunch of players just trying to get a crack at the affiliated leagues.
I believe that the team photographer for the Armada produced a team set at some point during that season but I do not know what the cards actually looked like. Anyone out there with a scan?
