Now, Canseco is issuing a challenge to current New York Yankees star Aaron Judge, who had an incredible season last year, hitting a whopping 62 home runs. Canseco, known for his confidence in his own hitting skills, is daring the Yankees slugger to a showdown to see who truly reigns supreme on the ballpark.
