The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that police were called to Canseco’s Las Vegas home on Tuesday afternoon, and they have confirmed the shooting was accidental.
With more than 17 years in major league baseball, Jose Canseco's last game was in 2001. After he retired, he had his autobiography published which was titled “Juiced” and in which he talked about his own use of steriods. The book helped expose wide-spread steroid use in baseball and led to reforms.
