Jose Canseco is widely regarded as one of the greatest players to have graced the MLB. The slugger played 17 seasons in the league and won two World Series titles.
Despite retiring from baseball in 2001, Canseco has often grabbed headlines on social media. Some of his posts in recent years have also been quite cryptic, to say the least.
On Christmas morning in 2021, Canseco put out a tweet that became a mystery to be solved for his followers. He wrote:
"Merry Christmas and happy New Year's to everyone except 2 certain people I think they know who they are"
