Report: Jose Canseco accidently shoots himself in the hand

This had to hurt considerably more than the time a fly ball bounced off his head for a home run.

Jose Canseco reportedly shot himself in the hand — accidentally — Tuesday at his home in Las Vegas, according to local news reports. The ex-MLB slugger, who has a knack for continuing to make headlines all these years later, is apparently doing OK.
