Jose Canseco looking to sell his finger, gun on eBay

By Sun-Times staff

Former White Sox slugger Jose Canseco is looking to put a couple items on eBay: His recently blown-off finger, and the .45-caliber Remington pistol that did the honors.

The 50-year-old, who had the finger surgically re-attached last month, says the digit fell off during a poker game and that it was “very loose with no bone to connect it” and was “smelling really bad.”

Below are his most recent Tweets:
