Robinson Cano
Robinson Cano is a former New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners slugger, who is trying to rekindle his public impression after coming off his second PED (performance-enhancing drug) suspension. He is desperate enough to let everyone remember who he was and that his talent has not faded away, playing in the Minor League.
Robinson Cano is playing for Triple-A El Paso, the top affiliate of the San Diego Padres (who DFA’d him after a listless 12-game stint earlier this year). He blasted a 448-foot blast to the right-field party deck at Southwest University Park. After smashing one he stared the ball sail out of the park, as it sailed, he glanced over at the pitcher to let him know who he is facing.
Showing up a pitcher what it feels like to face an 8-time All-Star is definitely exciting but Robinson Cano’s steroid use will forever tarnish his MLB legacy. He probably swallowed his pride by accepting a minor-league demotion that other, similarly established stars might not have.

The 39-year-old Robinson Cano had already launched one of his home runs earlier in the game (which began Saturday but was suspended due to rain, resuming the following afternoon), and knew the result as soon as it left his bat, taking a moment to admire his handiwork before finally beginning his trot around the bases.
“I love baseball,” Cano said Wednesday at Southwest University Park, shortly before going 3-for-6 in a win against Oklahoma City. “People don’t realize how much I love this game. I grew up in a baseball family (his father Jose played in the Major Leagues and named his son after Jackie Robinson), I’ve always been in the ballpark since I was a kid with my dad.”
“I love the game, I know I can still play this game and I understand how to play, how to get good at-bats and that’s what I’m doing here. I’m not thinking that I’m in the minor leagues, I’m having fun and enjoying being here, enjoying this time.”
