MIAMI — Former MLB player Jose Canseco says he's selling his detached digit on eBay.
The Canseco finger saga started in October when the Cuban-born, former Miami resident accidentally shot it off. Doctors reattached his finger, but apparently not well enough. Last Thursday while at a poker game, it fell off.
Canseco tweeted Monday night that he'd be selling the finger, along with the .45-caliber Remington gun that shot it off. Canseco hasn't listed the items for sale as of yet, and didn't mention a price.
"The eBay ad will read slightly used middle finger with 462 home runs could be used as a stirring straw for drinks," Canseco tweeted.
It's unclear how Canseco plans on listing both items for sale since eBay's selling policy forbids the sale of both firearms and body parts.
