Canseco's ex on steroids: It affected his ballgame
Jessica Canseco, the Hooters waitress-turned-wife of steroids king Jose Canseco, bares all – including some juicy details about her marriage – in Playboy's September issue.
Ex-Mrs. Canseco, who married the one-time Red Sox slugger in 1996, cut him loose in 2000 after years of physical abuse, philandering and steroid use.
The 'roids had serious effects on her hubby's private parts and their love life, she revealed to Playboy.
``It does definitely affect your testicles, that's for sure,'' said Jess. ``Jose's were nonexistent. They were not there.''
After they were married, welcomed daughter Josie Marie and moved into a mega-manse in Florida, Jose's bride discovered her hubby's little black book containing names of hundreds of women and love notes from his more successful conquests.
``There were things like, `Two Girls in Detroit. Strippers. Brown Hair,' '' Jessica told Playboy in the issue that hits newsstands today. ``He'd have to write down descriptions because there were so many of them.''
But despite the heavy hitter's wandering, ahem, eye, his wife said she tried to salvage the marriage by having threesomes, getting plastic surgery and trying to please him in every way possible.
However, she had him arrested in 1997 for striking her in the face while riding home from a night on the town. Canseco entered a no-contest plea.
They divorced in 2000, but remain friendly and speak every day because of Josie, now 8, Jessica reported to the skin mag.
So why is Mrs. Canseco baring all now? It just so happens her tawdry tell-all, ``Juicy: Confessions of a Former Baseball Wife,'' is headed to bookstores Sept. 6.
