Celebrity Slugger Jose Canseco begins his "Home Run Challenge" tour with a public appearance at Fan HQ in the Ridgedale Center mall on Tuesday, June 17th, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.. Jose will meet with fans, pose for photos and sign autographs.

After the stop at Fan HQ, Jose Canseco's Home Run Challenge Tour will run for over two months as he visits 17 cities in Canada and the U.S. covering 16,500 miles in 10 weeks in the CansecoMobile – a 40-foot custom RV. The former Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, and World Series champ will be accompanied on the tour by his four dogs and three tortoises.

Canseco will appear at minor league ballparks and charity events challenging local sluggers as he attempts to break the official world record longest softball home run of 510 feet by Bruce Meade and Babe Ruth's longest baseball home run of 570 feet. "This will be fun for the fans and kids," said Canseco. "I'm going for 600 feet for both records to really raise the bar."
