(CNN) -- Former baseball slugger Jose Canseco accidentally shot himself in his left finger while cleaning a gun, police said.

"This is Leila . Thank you all for the kind words and prayers . Jose is in still surgery and will be ok. Please pray for his finger !!," she said in a tweet posted to his account.

Canseco, who hit more than 450 home runs during his 17 seasons in the big leagues, was hit when his semiautomatic handgun accidentally went off, Las Vegas police said.

Canseco won the American League Rookie of the Year award in 1986 and was the league MVP two years later while with the Oakland A's.

Exactly which finger is the "left finger"?

It's the one that's left there, on the floor, after the ND.

I saw that on my phone newscast last night.

This is a gun site so we should start a prayer group for his finger...

That's a shame, such senseless bloodshed. Just shooting off a finger doesn't improve the human gene pool one bit.

You don't clean inside the barrel with your finger, Jose.

You also don't clean loaded guns.
