## Resource

Jose Canseco’s wild ’90s past just got a major reboot—this time, it’s about a “Beefcake Book” he allegedly made for Madonna, sparking a bizarre mix of baseball legend and pop culture gossip. Back then, the A’s slugger teamed up with team photographer Michael Zagaris for a photoshoot to capture his off-field charm, not romance. Canseco insists he wasn’t into Madonna, even as she reportedly loved the shots. ESPN’s Jeff Passan revived the tale with a clip, sending old photos and rumors swirling again. It’s a surreal relic from a time when sports and celebrity collided in unforgettable, head-scratching ways.
