Canseco’s Home Was Hit Hard by Andrew

Jose Canseco is getting it from all directions. Stunned by the news Monday that he had been traded by the Oakland Athletics to the Texas Rangers, Canseco last week took a solid blow from the Hurricane Andrew at his $2.5-million mansion in the exclusive Cocoplum area along Biscayne Bay.

“All the carpets, upstairs and down, had to be tossed because of water damage,” Claire Tacher, a lawyer for Canseco, said Tuesday. “The roofer looked up top and said, ‘Your chimney’s missing.’ And I think every French door in the place blew out.”

Canseco’s recently remodeled patio was chipped and stained, and the pool had to be washed with acid.
