Unfortunately for Canseco, eBay rules prohibit the ability to sell human body parts:
"We don't allow humans, the human body, or any human body parts or products to be listed on eBay, with two exceptions. Sellers can list items containing human scalp hair, and skulls and skeletons intended for medical use.

The 50-year-old enjoyed many of the best years of his career with the Oakland Athletics, winning an American League MVP award in 1988 and his first of two World Series titles in 1989.
The slugger hit 462 total home runs but discredited the power element of his game to a degree by publicly admitting to extensive steroid use.
