Editing Jose Canseco (section)

==Early life==
Canseco was born in [[Havana]], Cuba, the son of José Sr. and Barbara Canseco. He has a twin brother, [[Ozzie Canseco]], who is also a former major league player. When [[Fidel Castro]] came into power in 1959, José Sr., a territory manager for the oil and gasoline corporation [[Esso]] as well as a part-time English teacher, lost his job and eventually his home. The family was allowed to leave Cuba in 1965, when the twins were barely one year old, and settled in the [[Miami]] area, where José Sr. became a territory manager for another oil and gasoline concern, [[Amoco]].<ref name="Discontent">{{Cite magazine |url=https://vault.si.com/vault/1989/10/02/the-summer-of-his-discontent-in-this-painful-season-as-slugger-jose-canseco-has-found-that-fame-hits-back |title=The Summer of His Discontent |magazine=Sports Illustrated |location=New York City |publisher=Time |date=October 2, 1989 |access-date=September 15, 2024 |last=Gammons |first=Peter |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220819230438/https://vault.si.com/vault/1989/10/02/the-summer-of-his-discontent-in-this-painful-season-as-slugger-jose-canseco-has-found-that-fame-hits-back |archive-date=August 19, 2022 |url-status=live }}</ref>
