Former MLB star Jose Canseco's finger falls off while playing poker

Well, that's definitely the strangest headline ever to appear on JOE.ie.

Former Major League Baseball star Jose Canseco has revealed in gory detail how his finger fell off while he was playing poker. Canseco accidentally shot his finger off while cleaning his gun recently, as you do, and because it was reattached properly it fell off during a card game. Somebody shot a video of the incident and sold it back to Canseco's agent and we are very glad to report that we don't have it. Our constitution couldn't take it. http://youtu.be/3995IQY9X_Y Canseco seemed to see the funny side of his lost digit. Somehow.

I could probably hit a softball further with 9 fingers .less weight means more bat speed. Lol — Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) November 15, 2014

I bet a long time ago you could easily loose a finger a hand or even your life in a poker game if you couldn't pay up. — Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) November 15, 2014

I put my finger in the freezer anyone want finger appetizers. — Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) November 15, 2014
