According to TMZ Sports, former MLB MVP and admitted steroids-user Jose Canseco accidentally blew off the middle finger on his left hand last night while cleaning his gun in his Las Vegas home.
Less than one week after Canseco used his Twitter account to tell his followers to not fly Delta Airlines because they are a "scam," Canseco's fiancé and sexy WAG Leila Knight used it to confirm the news of the former slugger's injury.
Doctors said that even under the best of circumstances, Canseco will never regain full use of his digit, but even Canseco knows it could have been much worse.
