Jose Canseco’s Finger Didn’t Fall Off After All

Hey, you know that whole thing about buying Jose Canseco’s detached dangling digit on eBay? Welp…turns out you can’t.

Two reasons.

First…there’s this.

“We don’t allow humans, the human body, or any human body parts or products to be listed on eBay, with two exceptions,” eBay’s human remains and body parts policy states. “Sellers can list items containing human scalp hair, and skulls and skeletons intended for medical use.”

Second…it was all a hoax.

Sure, dude was cleaning a gun and it went off, taking part of his hand with it, but, the rest of it was made up. According to the Thirty Mile Zone, Canseco thought of the prank after coming across a fake finger in a Halloween store.

But for future reference, the embattled slugger should stick to playing cards over at Full Tilt.  To my knowledge, no one’s ever lost a finger (allegedly or otherwise) playing online poker.
