Looks like they took an identical buffet of steroids
They did. They said they did. Same steroids, same amount, same diet and workout plan.

Jose has said they grew up the same, ate the same things, took the same steroids in the same amounts, had the same workout plan, etc. Are those are the kinds of environmental influences you are talking about?
So, wait...you really think they ate exactly the same, took the exact same amount of steroids and every single other influence on these things for 50 years?

I don't think anyone was saying otherwise.
Did you read the OP?

Growing up I'm sure they ate the same stuff considering they lived in the same house, and they have said when they were in the big leagues they took the same steroids and amounts and had the same diet plan and workout plan.

Yet when they were playing their faces still looked different.

It's not like Ozzie went vegan and Jose was eating hamburgers and now their faces look different. They've always looked a little different.

Saying identical twins should look the same is not the same as saying that identical is determined by how much they look the same.

I don't see why people aren't considering the possibility that they are fraternal. Their facial structure is different. I don't think these kind of prenatal tests existed when they were born. Have they had a DNA test? Prior to the last 30 years or so and in the developing world there have probably been plenty of fraternal twins that were just assumed to be identical

I know the difference between different types of twins. I know what identical twins are.

I just thought that being identical and having the same exact DNA means they will look exactly the same with the only differences being how much they weigh, their hairstyles, facial hair styles, etc.

I thought identical twins have identical faces considering they have the same DNA.

But apparently not.

When is Jose Canseco not Jose Canseco? When he's his twin brother, Ozzie.

The Canseco brothers are now in a fight with celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman after Ozzie showed up as Jose for a scheduled fight and pretended to be his notorious twin brother, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.


"A bait-and-switch," Feldman said. "I'm disgusted."

Fans at a Hard Rock nightclub Saturday in Hollywood, Fla., were able to point out the impostor due to a difference between Ozzie's and Jose's respective tattoos.

Ozzie, who has subbed in for Jose at autograph signings in the past

I graduated HS with a group of quadruplets. Two twin boys and two twin girls. So two eggs were fertilized which is rare enough, and then both of them happened to split. Apparently only like 10 cases of this type of quadruplets in the country

Yeah and there are like 10 confirmed cases of identical twins of the opposite sex but usually the female twin suffers from physical limitations as a result of the process.

Not necessarily. Steroids and cocaine can do weird things to ones body.
