"Every quarterback I have ever met is out to prove they can hit a home run off of any pitcher" "Did that thing come down?" - Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen smashes a ball at a charity softball home run derby, MLB Twitter loves every moment of it

It might be a little unsual to see an NFL superstar make the headlines of an MLB post, but Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen just shook up MLB Twitter when he took part in a charity softball home run derby and hit some absolute nukes.Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaBills quarterback Josh Allen hits BOMBS76221Bills quarterback Josh Allen hits BOMBS https://t.co/R06KIxmzJLThe charity softball event took place at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York, where the Toronto Blue Jays played during the 2020 COVID MLB season. The event raised over $200,000. The money raised was then donated to Allen's teammate Micah Hyde's foundation. The 10,000 person capacity stadium was filled to the brim with supporters.Josh Allen definitely gave the people in attendance a show to remember, and fans were in awe of his performance. Professional athletes often like to test their abilities in different sports on the biggest stage, and Josh Allen did not disappoint at all. As seen above, Allen absolutely ripped a softball down the left field line into the left field stands. This is more than impressive on its own, but when you factor that a softball is much harder to hit farther then a baseball, you can see why MLB Twitter was in shock.MLB Twitter fan reactionsTom House 〽️@tomhouseWhen kids see they’re doing the same thing that Big Leaguers and NFL QBs are doing, it’s such a powerful connection and moment that they are on the right path! twitter.com/realmikeranell…Mike Ranelli@realMikeRanelli@tomhouse I was at Camden Yards last night.
