Jose Canseco Attempts to Break Home Run Records on an RV

Jose Canseco, former MLB slugger, is going around the continent on an RV. He will be traveling around the United States and Canada for 10 whole weeks in an attempt to break home run records. This "Home Run Tour" will be Canseco's attempt at breaking records for longest softball and baseball home runs.

He will be taking with him his four dogs as well as his three tortoises. And, of course, he will be bringing with him his signature Canseco bat.

His management company has released in a statement, "Jose Canseco's 'Home Run Tour' will begin next week and run for over two months as he visits 17 cities in Canada and the US covering 16,500 miles in 10 weeks in the CansecoMobile - a 40-foot custom RV. He will be appearing at minor league ballparks and charity events challenging local sluggers as he attempts to break the official world record softball longest home run of 510 feet by Bruce Meade and Babe Ruth's longest baseball home run of 570 feet."

The company's statement continued to talk about what Canseco thought about this tour. Canseco believes that his "Home Run Tour" will be fun and interesting for the children, as well as his fans. Canseco is also hopeful that a lot of sluggers will be attending the tour at every stop so that it becomes a fantastic competition.

Canseco has shared that one of his favorite stops of the tour is in Home Runs for Autism that is situated in Ottawa. This will be his third visit to event to benefit research and support for children with autism. He is looking forward to attending the event again.
