Aaron Judge has cemented himself as one of the best batters in the MLB right now. With his powerful hitting and quick swing, he has dominated pitchers and hit many home runs. Furthermore, many consider him the best power hitter in the League right now.
In 2022 he made that clear when he hit 62 home runs and broke the AL single-season home run record. But there is one MLB legend who believes that he is better than Judge and recently went on to challenge him. This former MLB All-Star is none other than Jose Canseco who recently invited Judge to a big event.

Jose Canseco is considered one of the better hitters to play baseball. During his time with the Oakland Athletics, he established himself as one of the League’s best hitters and competed with other legends like Mark McGwire. Canseco has even challenged Aaron Judge to a home run derby. But most recently he invited Judge to come to Travis Scott’s celebrity softball game.
In a Tweet, Canseco said “Aaron judge I will be at Travis Scott’s celebrity softball game in Houston on February 16 hitting some long Homer’s come check it out…” This may be an invitation to bury the hatched or a veiled challenge to Judge. The Yankee star has not responded to Canseco’s invitation and there’s no telling whether he’ll show up to the game.
