Home run derby

Hello all!

Amazing. Record-breaking. Once in a lifetime. All of these can be used to describe a certain player in the Home Run Derby. Unfortunately for the Brewers fans out there, it wasn't Ryan Braun. It was Josh Hamilton, the Center Fielder from the Texas Rangers. He finished in second place, but not after setting a new record with 28 home runs in the first round. He ended up finishing second to Justin Morneau from the twins, but he definitely stole the show, hitting three homers over 500 feet.

Ryan Braun tied for 3rd, but that is a lot better than what anyone thought after his first six outs of the derby. He didn't hit his first homer until then, and I was thinking that it was a Brewers curse to not make it to the second round (Fielder last year). But he put together 7 long balls in the last 4 outs and hit another 7 in the second round, 3 short of making the finals.

Since again, it is the all-star break, and there isn't much to talk about, I am encouraging people to leave questions for me. Either leave them as comments or e-mail me at webweb20@yahoo.com.
