Former Toronto Blue Jays all-star and one of the best hitters of the 1980's and 190's Jose Canseco seems to have completely blown his fortune as he is now selling personal items online.
Most fans think that professional athletes are set for life after they retire but the sad reality is that many are not smart with their money and burn through all of it rather quickly leaving them with nothing.
Former Blue Jays Jose Canseco has been selling personal items online after blowing his fortune
Canseco was one of the best hitters in baseball during his 17 year career and despite having an asterisk on his records due to his use of performance enhancing drugs, he still was an incredible baseball player.
The former Blue Jay made quite a bit of money throughout his career but it looks like he has burned through all of it according to reports and has decided to sell off personal items such as a poker table, leather boots and wheel rims to make some extra cash.
Jose Canseco, one of baseball's biggest stars of the 1980s and '90s, reportedly has posted several personal items on the online trading post in hopes to raise some quick cash.
Among the items listed, according to the U.S. Sun, are a personalized signed poker table, some ostrich leather boots, and flash wheel rims. -Bilicki

All the items listed by Canseco are worth a lot of money as he is asking US$25,000 for the poker table, $4,500 for the Rolls Royce rims and $17,000 for a Triumph motorcycle.
The table is on offer for a staggering US$25,000 while the 24-inch Rolls Royce wheels and tires are available for $4,500.
Canseco also has put up a 2021 custom-made Triumph Rocket motorcycle with fewer than 1,000 km on it for $17,000. -Bilicki

In a recent interview, his daughter, internet celebrity Josie Canseco, stated that she had to work for her success as all of her family's money was gone by the time she was 6 or 7 years old.
«My family's money was gone by the time I was 6 or 7 due to bankruptcy. I've had to work hard not only to maintain my family name but also to pay my bills - because no one else did that for me.» -Canseco
Clearly Canseco is in a rough spot recently and it trying to find a solution to his financial problems.
