Buffalo QBs Hit Massive Home Runs on Toronto Field, Who Hit the Most?
For the second straight week, the quarterbacks of the Buffalo Bills have shown off their skills on the baseball diamond.
In case you missed it, last week, the Bills participated in Micah Hyde's annual charity softball game, and Josh Allen went viral (again) for hitting a few bombs during the home run derby competition.
This week, Allen was joined by his fellow Bills' QBs in Toronto as the trio competed for the title of home run king once again.
The Allens and Barkley Compete for Title of Bills' HR King in Toronto
A story from ESPN and other outlets shared highlights of a unique "home run derby" competition that broke out on-the-field at Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays, on Monday afternoon.
Before the Blue Jays and Yankees took turns hitting dingers (and peaking into the dugout) during their game on Monday night, the three quarterbacks on the Buffalo Bills' roster took a few hacks of their own before the game itself.
Check out the video of the entire event, as captured by the Bills on YouTube:
After the final home run was hit, Allen took a moment to address fans of the Buffalo Bills and Toronto Blue Jays in a short recap video. Check that out below:
Apparently, Josh Allen's baseball swing caught the eye of a scout or two within the Blue Jays' organization. They sent this tweet out on Monday, as well:
Josh Allen's performance was certainly impressive, as the star QB hit four total home runs, two of which landed in the second deck at Rogers Centre, according to ESPN. It was his counterpart, however, that ended up winning the impromptu competition, as Matt Barkley hit five total home runs on the day.
It's all fun-and-games for the Buffalo Bills until September 11th, when their season opens up against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. The Bills have one of the toughest regular season schedules of any team in the NFL this year, meaning that, if the team makes it to the Super Bowl in 2023, they will have more than earned the right to be there.
Hopefully, this Bills' season ends up being a home run, too.
