Headline: Jose Canseco taught teammates how to cheat

Here's one from the 'duh' files: Apparently, Jose Canseco taught his teammates how to cheat. (The link to the academic paper is in a blog entry to which Rob Neyer's blog linked today.)

The economists who wrote this paper "found that a player’s performance increased significantly after he played with Canseco and found that no other baseball player produced a similar effect."

These guys might just have an Ig Nobel prize in their future...
