Jose Canseco is one of the most enigmatic figures in baseball history, and that's why he maintains so popular today despite his obvious mental imbalance. 

For the past year or so, I've referred to him as the Charlie Sheen of baseball. Canseco says what he wants and doesn't care about any potential consequences.

That said, an interview with the man would be a treat.

Let's play mock interview and look at 15 questions that would be ideal to ask Canseco.

Any Chance You Will Revive Your MMA Career?

You know, because despite getting clowned by Hong Man Choi, you didn't look that bad in the ring.

I only ask this because you, Mr. Canseco, seem to be the only one who cares about Mr. Ruiz's near-dead career.

You and Mark McGwire were teammates for years. Tell us, Jose, who would do better in the majors today?

The Head Homer

This was one of the most infamous bloopers in baseball history, and we must know, Jose...did it hurt?

All joking aside for a second, Jose, here's a serious question. You were part of an Oakland Athletics squad that saw three straight World Series appearances from 1988-1990. How amazing was that part of your career?

The Pitching Incident

Seriously, Jose. In your sole pitching appearance for the Texas Rangers in 1993, you gave up three earned runs and issued three walks. Was the Tommy John surgery worth it?

Which Team Did You Like Best?

In a 17-year career, you spent time with seven different teams: the Oakland A's, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.

Out of all those teams, with which one did you enjoy your time the most?
