Jose Canseco to be Punched in the Face

Jose Canseco was a Red Sox for a minute, but we're guessing that there are at least a few people in New England who would like to see the wife beating steroids advocate take a blow or two to the noggin. It turns out that we aren't the only people who think so.

According to Dan Lamothe, Canseco will be making a rare trip to Western Mass. to take on Todd Poulton, a boxer from Pittsfield. It's a celebrity boxing, Springfield, Mass. style, PED testing optional. Or is it the end of the world? Lamothe has his suspicions:

Thirty dollars to watch a likely 15-minute fight between a has-been and a who's-that? That's pretty steep, but this event should offer the kind of blogging gold that can only be found in competitive eating and extreme tattoo races. It's a chance to sit down and witness that, yes, the Apocalypse really is upon us.
