Madonna once grilled baseball legend Jose Canseco over his bold jewelry selection: "Do you feel like you need more attention?"

In his memoir titled "Juiced," which came out in 2005, former MVP Jose Canseco recounted the tale of his unexpected meeting with pop sensation Madonna.

Canseco admitted he had a fascination with Madonna and through a twist of fate, their paths crossed in 1991, sparking a chain of events that would forever remain in Canseco's memory.

Canseco recalled that he made a journey to Madonna's Hollywood Hills residence. Upon arrival, Canseco and his agent, Jeff Borris, were greeted by an unexpected sight—Madonna looked markedly different from what they anticipated.

As Canseco navigated the meeting, Madonna's charismatic yet intimidating presence left an indelible impression on the former MVP.

Madonna's curiosity led her to engage Canseco in a thought-provoking conversation, probing him about his beliefs and even his choice of accessories.

Madonna apparently bombarded Canseco with questions, each more specific than the last.

"Why do you wear that big diamond ring?" she asked, looking down at his six-carat diamond ring. "Do you feel like you need more attention? "

No," Canseco replied. "I just like jewelry."

Controversies surrounding Jose Canseco

Jose Canseco was arrested in 1989 while playing for the A's for illegally possessing a gun. Three years later, after allegedly ramming his wife's BMW with his Porsche, he was charged with aggravated assault. Canseco pleaded guilty and did not contest the charge of striking his second wife, Jessica, in 1998.

He also admitted guilty to charges of criminal violence stemming from a bar fight in Miami Beach in 2001 in which his twin brother Ozzie also took part. Jose sent Ozzie to represent him in a boxing match in South Florida, where he was scheduled to compete 10 years later.

All of those incidents marred Canseco's career, which featured 462 home runs and six All-Star appearances.
