PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- In 1973, Bobby Riggs took on Billie Jean King at the Astrodome in a 'Battle of the Sexes' tennis match.

"So what I challenge, in the next couple of weeks, we take you Angelo Cataldi, we take Leslie Gudel, we do a little hitting challenge in the cage with a pitching machine," Brazer said. "You have Ben Davis as your coach. But the winner goes to Phillies Phantasy Camp."

The two agreed. Here are the contest details:

"Let me make this abundantly clear, no female is gonna beat the big fella," Cataldi joked. "I want a machine and I want it slow. I do not have fast reflexes."
