On Feb. 15, both Josie and Jose Canseco turned out at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros. The reason for their presence was to take part in a celebrity softball game organized by famed rapper Travis Scott. According to reports, the event took place to raise funds for disadvantaged youth to attend various Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

The guest list at the event boasted a laundry list of celebrities and athletes. Among those in attendance were former Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, rapper Trae Tha Truth, and MLB icons like Jeff Bagwell, Ken Griffey Jr., and Gary Sheffield.

The star-studded event was organized through Scott's charity, the Cactus Foundation.

Earlier this month, the Houston-born artist made headlines for purchasing the rights to the spring training grounds that the Astros share with the Washington Nationals. Formerly known as the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, the site will now be known as CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches, after Scott's brand of alcoholic beverages.
