Former baseball star Jose Canseco nearly lost a finger after accidentally shooting himself in the hand Tuesday.
Las Vegas Metro police Lt. Mark Reddon told the Associated Press that officers responded to a call of an accidental shooting at Canseco's home just after 5:30 p.m. ET. Canseco told police he was cleaning his gun in the kitchen when it discharged and shot a finger in his left hand, according to Reddon.
Jose Canseco tweeted that he will sell his amputated middle finger on eBay. But knowing Canseco's history, that won't be the only item he puts up for bidding. So if you're seeking a perfect and absolutely unique Christmas gift for that special baseball fan in your life, take advantage of these one of a kind offers in Jose's Bloody Wednesday eBay auction.
My middle finger!
As you probably read in my tweets, I accidentally shot off my middle finger with a gun and then lost the digit playing poker. (Who knew the guy across the table had a full house!) Well, I've got it on ice in my freezer and now you can be the proud owner of the same middle finger that helped me swat 462 home runs, knock in 1,407 ribbies, win the 1988 MVP, autograph baseballs, inject steroids into Mark McGwire, type my best-selling books and flip the bird to fans in stadiums across the country (as well as to members of Congress)! Picture this historic finger mounted on your wall, dangling from a necklace or hanging from your rearview mirror!
