Jose Canseco shoots off middle finger

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Wed Oct 29, 2014 10:25 am

AP wrote:LAS VEGAS -- Former major league slugger Jose Canseco is recovering after shooting himself in the hand at his Las Vegas home.

Metro police Lt. Mark Reddon says officers responded to a call of an accidental shooting shortly after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Reddon says the former Oakland Athletics outfielder told police he was cleaning his gun in the kitchen when it fired, shooting a finger on his left hand. He was taken to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada.

Canseco is a right-handed batter who hit 462 career home runs and was a six-time All-Star. He also played for Texas, Boston, Toronto, Tampa Bay, the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox during a career that spanned from 1985 to 2001.

An email sent to a representative of Canseco on Tuesday night was not immediately returned.

The bullet ricocheted off his finger over his fence into the neighbor's yard.

For Jose, losing his middle finger will severely impair his ability to communicate.

I couldn't make this up.

Canseco is now claiming his surgically reattached finger fell off during a poker game. I know this is serious, but I couldn't read these tweets and keep a straight face.

I've heard of losing your shirt playing poker, but this is a bit extreme.

Maybe it's the Walking Dead version of strip poker.

I've heard of mucking a hand but just a finger?

According to TMZ, José was just kidding about his finger falling off again. He had also joked that he'd sell the digit on eBay.

Jose Canseco DUMPED BY FIANCEE

The reason should not surprise anyone...
Jose Canseco's engagement is officially OVER ... with Leila Knight telling TMZ Sports she dumped the former MLB star because "he's an a**hole."
