Battle of the Icons: Jose Canseco vs. Herschel Walker

Who doesn’t have childhood memories of sports icons?  When I was growing up, I was always Jose Canseco hitting the long ball in our backyard wiffle ball games… And football season would find me muddy and grass stained with a Dallas Cowboys 34 on my back. Now, after retiring from the sports in which they were all time greats, these two elite athletes have both moved to another field of battle, the Cage of Mixed Martial Arts.

This website was designed by me, Terry Burton (AKA The Fridge) to begin a grassroots movement for someone to promote a fight between these two fighters.  On this site, I have provided links and tools where we can get this fight done.

Give the people what they want?

That's not The Fridge's name.

All Walker has to do is bounce a baseball on Canseco's head.

Herschel would clobber Canseco.

It just occurred to me that Herschel's not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Shouldn't he be?

NO!

But I am a MN Vikings fan and thus very biased.
