    From the article.
    Canseco says, "It didn't make financial sense for me to keep paying a mortgage on a home that was basically owned by someone else."

    So, he bails out and lets the bank take a house which is worth less than he owes on it? Sounds shrewd and savvy. If this were Tom Hanks, the press might have picked up on that fact. But because it's Canseco everyone assumes he's a dope.

    Trust me, he's laughing too.

    Canseco IS a dope...did baseball doped. I can't stand him.

    I wouldn't call him a good guy, but a dope? Let's see, leveraged steroids into a very good career before many other guys were doing it (who knows if he'd have made it to the majors without doping). Then makes very good money writing tell-all books about steroids. Then he walks away from his upside down mortgage, and I bet he's not the last celebrity to do so.

    Yeah, he's a jerk, and I don't care for him. But he's got a pretty decent track record on making smart financial moves actually.

    I bet he gets royalties every time they show that ball bouncing off his head and over the ball for HR.

    It turns out that Canseco isn't the only famous dude from the 80s who is losing his house to foreclosure. Ed McMahon is joining the club.
