Canseco said the foreclosure was not a difficult issue emotionally. But he sympathized with the millions of other Americans who have already lost or face losing their homes because of soaring interest rates on sub-prime loans “I decided to just let it go, but in most cases and most families, they have nowhere else to go,” he said. It was not clear from the “Inside Edition” report, Reuters reports, where Canseco was now living. Canseco said a good portion of the money he earned in his heyday went to pay for his divorces. “I had a couple of divorces that cost me $7 or $8 million,” he said.</div> Ah, Jose. Time to smear some more ballplayers. What a train wreck. So, anyone know anybody having their house foreclosed? I don't.
I can't feel bad for the guy. He used roids while playing, snitched on other players and friends for using, made money snitching on them, and caused a whole bunch of baseball players to have to spend all their money dealing with the fallout of what he said. He is a complete piece of crap. How is he even still alive? Know what I mean?
Not the most professional interview, but he gets treated with the respect he deserves. Scroll down to 4-01.
