The year 2022 was filled with various enormous changes for the outfielder Aaron Judge. From starting the year by betting on himself to hit 50 home runs to ending the year by getting named the captain of one of the oldest franchises in Major League Baseball, All Rise has come a long way. However, it wasn’t the easiest journey for him to cover, either. 

And now, as the new year commenced, yet another challenge has come for the Big Aaron Judge. The challenge seeker this time isn’t the outfielder himself but an ex-MLB player who won a World Series during his short tenure in the Bronx. He is none other than controversial former athlete Jose Canseco.

From the looks of it, Canseco nowadays is spending his time hitting softballs. Therefore, he posted a small video of him doing net practice hitting the balls while calling the reigning AL MVP for a challenge.

With the video posted on Twitter, Canseco wrote that he is preparing himself to go against Judge to see if he can hit a baseball as far as his softball hit. Being sure of himself, the controversial MLB legend said that he doubts All Rise could beat him in this scenario. Later, he asked Judge to let him know whenever he is ready, and they’d take that game’s earnings and put them down for charity. 

However, the Captain of the Bronx Bombers is yet to respond to this challenge. But if he does accept the challenge, it is for sure going to be entertaining to watch. 

What are the fans saying about this ultimatum to Judge?

While some of the fans supported Canseco, others questioned his ability to hit the balls, considering his history with steroids and not having played in recent years.
